That's a nice idea, until someone thinks "doesn't work out" includes "I don't get the electoral result that I wanted".

I'd further wager that any protest in the counterfactual would have been a much smaller scale, and much less violent. 2016 being an example of Democrat supporters accepting an election result they didn't like - with officials taking a legal approach into their plaint with the election campaign (i.e., Russian interference) based on trying to build a case on evidence... not making indefensible claims about a conspiring deep state.
