The Brooks Brothers Riot of 2000 did exactly that, and today's discourse is visibly impacted by its aftermath. It wasn't prosecuted, and Democrats complained about the potential illegitimacy of Bush's win for ages. When Trump called the 2020 election into question, Republicans pointed the finger at Democrats, essentially saying that turnabout is fair play.
