rigged is used to mean something such as a game or election is already pre-determined by cheating (and this word is more commonly used for these situations)
manipulating is used more with people but can also be used with things (more common with people)
however, they are both correct (to rig here is slightly more natural in my opinion)

To rig is to manipulate or control. So, there is no difference.

@daliu_771 both can mean the same thing, but rigging the vote means that it's actually you who is doing the rigging, manipulating is someone is doing that for you. Since you cannot manipulate the vote.

@daliu_771
to rig and manipulate are a little different but can have nearly the same meaning
to rig - to set up in a certain way
He rigged up a tent. (although rigged is not usually used like this)
This is how rig is usually used:
Some Americans claim that the Russians rigged the elections.
I don’t vote because it’s (the elections) all rigged.
Someone is rigging the elections/votes.
Note: rigging the vote means rigging one* vote- perhaps if there is one important vote remaining then you could say: the last vote was rigged
you wanna say: votes* if more than one vote is being rigged
manipulating the votes*** not vote
rigged is used to mean something such as a game or election is already pre-determined by cheating
manipulating is used more with people but can also be used with things
Man, that guy is dumb. He is easily manipulated.
You cant say: He is easily rigged.
But here it’s more natural to say: the elections are rigged. the football game is rigged. (one side is made sure to win)

@yoshionimusha do you mean "manipulating the votes" is correct, but "rigging the votes" is not correct?

@daliu_771
rigging the votes and manipulating the votes* are both correct
you can’t say rigging/manipulating the vote* unless it’s only 1 vote
