While the date can be (and has been) changed, states have their own deadline for certifying results. I don’t think any have passed that mark yet, and Alaska’s senator is still unknown. All of the winners are still technically predictions. Some states (like Georgia) often have a run-off election in January.
It can all be done, but has a lot of moving parts. It might be easier to keep Congress out of session unless certain circumstances are met, but I can easily see that being abused for the same partisan reasons.

They have lengthy recesses every year anyway; just move those recesses to Nov-Dec. and solve the problem that way, agreed.
Word is Dems may want to avoid one to prevent Trump recess appointments for the vacanct judge seats. Not sure what can be done about it though.
