Not wise. This is a way of soothing dissent. The Gore team tried this in 2000. The trick is that they pick the pool of "sample" ballots. Show a tiny bit of fraud, but calculate that the "rate of fraud" wouldn't have swung the election.

That way any future accusations that fraud happened will be met by claims that although some small fraud occurred, it clearly wouldn't have changed who won. A tiny number of ground ops may be arrested, but the official line will be that fraud is "rare" and not "widespread".
