Rigging is a direct action on the election itself. Like removing ballots that were valid, submitting and accepting ballots of ineligible voters or straight fake them, blocking groups of people from voting (e g. blocking roads to voting polls), straight changing the numbers etc.
I see a distinction because all of the above are still happening in many countries, and there is a degree of illegality that is way above simple conning.
There's the other situations where people feel under threat of direct violence if they vote the wrong way. Perhaps there would be a different term for that altogether.
