Maybe. But, even that is a very short-sighted plan.
First, and most importantly, I doubt it will go that long. I mean, Bush/Gore was settled by the courts in early December, meaning there would be another month, month and a half to get the lawsuits going in a Biden/Trump election.
Second, even if it does go that long, it may well not be President Pelosi. If the Rs retake the house, then the Republican speaker is temporary president, whoever that is. Or, if the house races are gummed up by ballot shenanigans and lawsuits as well it may well turn out that there's no speaker.
And finally, even if Pelosi is interim president, its not going to be for very long. Certainly not enough time to get anything useful done, especially if a hostile senate remains.
The only way this plan gets the Dems anything but further resentment is if the court cases last for literal months or years, and they take the house and the senate as well. Its a possibility, but beyond a long shot.
