if no-one showed except for, say, 20 people nationally, the way the voting count works is that the percentages would be calculated for each of the more or less interchangeable representatives of the dominant class using that 20.
of course, that would not prevent a collapse of the electoral system as a whole. they call this a motivation crisis, which is the result of a legitimation crisis. what it would mean would be a function of the arguments made by various political movements before that.
not participating in a rigged election can be the only "rational" choice.
but you'd have to be persuaded that it was rigged, along with pretty much everyone else.
