Then you have clear proof of election fraud and the FBI, NSA, etc can get to work. Invalidate the election results and do a new one.

The chaos that would ensue from this is staggering.

Much better to just deny it till after the new government is in, then make a nothing-burger out of all the news that is reported "afterwards"? Meanwhile, 50% of your country is disenfranchised for X-years because it was "less chaos" to just accept the vote and move on.

'Just do a new election' is not a valid fallback.

Not valid why? Lack of political will, or logistically unfeasible?

How would they "get to work"?

And your proposed resolution means someone could DoS an election by copying their ballot and submitting it.
