No need to rig elections in a system where the bourgeois candidates have a 100% chance of victory.
The real rigging begins with curating public opinion via the bourgeois press, but this is 100% "works as intended" in western systems.
I don't doubt that voting machines have been compromised and used by interested parties to alter counts, but I am skeptical that this would be done at any scale significant enough to swing results because breaking the widespread belief in the system that legitimizes their rule would be more detrimental to their bottom line than getting a marginally less pro capital candidate in office.
