Again, only if nobody receives a majority of the votes in the electoral college.
Election problems won't prevent all states from selecting electors. Some state elections will go just fine and will end with clear victories for Trump or Biden.
But some states - possibly all left wing states - will have serious problems and might never have a result. That will almost certainly help Trump.
Take California, for instance. It has 55 electoral votes. If it can't identify a winner about a month after the election then it loses its electors and the number required to win drops from 270 to 242. Trump will easily get that.
The Electoral votes are opened in a Joint Session of Congress, presided over by the President of the Senate i.e. The Vice President of the United States. There may be objections to the electors, but it the objection must come from a member of the House and also a Senator.
Members of Congress can object to any state's vote count, provided objection is presented in writing and is signed by at least one member of each house of Congress. An objection supported by at least one senator and one representative will be followed by the suspension of the joint session and by separate debates and votes in each House of Congress; after both Houses deliberate on the objection, the joint session is resumed.
A state's certificate of vote can be rejected only if both Houses of Congress vote to accept the objection, meaning the votes from the State in question are not counted. Individual votes can also be rejected, and are also not counted.

Remember, the states provide the votes.
However, it’s upto the house to receive and accept the votes.
It’s possible the house refuses to accept the delegation and votes.
