Rigging doesn't specifically mean manipulating votes. It means taking what is presumably an open and fair contest and taking some actions to ensure it isn't.

Rigging doesn't specifically mean manipulating votes. It means taking what is presumably an open and fair contest and taking some actions to ensure it isn't. The big things that came out of the leaks for me is the explicit and cosy relationship with specific members of the media who were instructed to produce and disseminate certain messaging against Bernie Sanders. They also asked those "media resources" to prop up Trump, Cruz and Carson because they naively believed that Trump would be a push-over, for example.
