Not necessarily. Lobbying efforts (on, off or cycled) -- when it comes to popularity contests -- come with changed results too.
Sometimes a rigged vote is a "vote going how you wish it to"; and sometimes a rigged vote is not.
Sometimes a vote defeat is tactically or strategically desirable -- rigged vote or not.
