Yes, the election is rigged–against Clinton
We can start with James Comey. Millions voted while he offered a cloud of suspicion.
…after FBI Director James Comey’s surprise announcement on Oct. 28 that Clinton’s emails were once again under review, the numbers did shift more toward Trump — but probably not dramatically enough for Trump to take a popular vote lead.
However, it is conceivable that Comey’s letter could shift just enough voters in the swing states to give Trump wins in all of them — understanding, of course, that Comey announced on Saturday that the emails have now been reviewed and his earlier decision not to pursue action against Clinton still stands…

To make matters worse, ex-cons who have served their time are also often kept from voting. The 14th Amendment allows states to bar people from voting due to a conviction. This has translated to over 6 million people not being eligible to vote, many of them minority voters…
While gerrymandering doesn’t affect the presidential race, it does have a huge effect on congressional races.
Republicans, using new technology that allows them to redraw congressional districts based on data that previous gerrymanderers could only have dreamed of, have taken this to new heights.
It’s why, when you look at a congressional map, you’ll see many districts that look more like octopuses, with arms stretching in a way to ensure the most congressional seats. It is entirely possible that Democrats could receive millions more congressional votes, yet still be the minority party in the House…
A foreign government (let’s say — hypothetically — Russia) working with an anarchist organization (let’s say WikiLeaks) could influence our election by hacking into the files of a candidate they oppose (let’s say Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton) and not doing anything to damage her opponent.
Also, a gung-ho FBI director could influence the election by giving his personal opinions about an investigation that produced no charges or by releasing a letter just 11 days before an election saying the investigation has new material to review, even though he doesn’t know if the material really amounts to anything (hypothetically).
