The same thing in theory could happen in Canada. The electoral officer could refuse to sign the final tally sheets. Eventually it would get before a judge who was appointed by a political body.
Norms are the only thing that protect democracy. Canada federally and Alberta provincially have had a significant destruction of norms mattering in the past 3 years or so. We are only 8 years or so behind if that. And Canadas system of government is far more susceptible with our elected dictator model.
