Well, it did sort of work for George W. Bush in 2000. The AP did their own recount in Florida after the election and found that Al Gore actually won. They published their findings on Sept. 12th, 2001, the day after 9-11, so few people picked up on it. After the 9-11 attack democrats weren't about to question the election legitimacy. After all the supreme court (wrongly) declared Bush the winner.
This will be the new normal I guess. Elections will mean nothing. Whoever hollers the loudest will declare themselves the winners!
