I believe that GWB would let it go. I'm sure that you disagree, but I know him well enough to know that he will use legal means (see under the law) to achieve victory. He will not try to write case law.

"Chris Matthews, writing contemptuously of the
vice president’s political morality, noted, “Al Gore, knowing
him as we do, may have no problem taking the presidential
oath after losing the popular vote to George W. Bush.” The
Bush camp, according reports in The New York Daily News,
were busy planning to challenge such a result. “The one thing
we don’t do is roll over,” one Bush aide promised, “We
fight.”
The form that fight would take, he explained, would be a
major public campaign about the Electoral College’s essential
unfairness — a massive talk-radio operation, and lots of
television advertisements. “And I think you can count on the
media to fuel the thing big-time. Even papers that supported
Gore might turn against him because the will of the people
will have been thwarted,” he noted."
