From a PR perspective, it would make sense that some White Hat Hackers (possibly crowd funded) put in the effort to actually capture such an election and turn the result into an obvious joke (e.g. by voting a fictional character or an obvious third-tier lunatic outsider).

This could be used as very illustrative material to teach the general public about these risks, better than some hypothetical scenarios and "boring" articles that the average voter is not going to read anyway.
