You have quite a cynical view. In Switzerland, people usually elect a group of people at the same time to a cantonal executive (i.e. a group of ministers from different parties who have too choose the president among themselves). If one of them refuses to step down in case of a clear fraud, the others will force him/her to do so because it is in their interest of being seen as legimately elected. Also, it is unlikely that they conspire as they stem from different parties. Even the national government consists of ministers from four different parties.
