I am baffled about why you think the votes won't be there in the lame duck session

Sure, immediately after Arizona certifies the results

Right, which is about a month after the election. So even in the worst case (where both special election seats are lost) there's a few weeks to act

But do the incumbent Senators in these special elections hold their seats until the new Senator is seated? Const specifies when elected senators term ends, but seems the incumbents could be out Nov 3 and seats remain empty until the 30th. I’m too lazy to look it up now though.
