I'm thinking of Rutherford B. Hayes vs. Samuel Tilden in 1876.
It was really similar to what's going on now. There was a lot of voter fraud being claimed. Congress selected a special commission to sort through everything. The one-vote Republican majority of the commission decided all the disputed Electoral votes in 3 states would go to Hayes, giving him a 1 point victory. The decision happened two days before the inauguration.
So it can happen as long as people, especially congressmen in that instance, remain strong.
