Was the election rigged ?

It seems that there is strong evidence that some districts in certain states could have had their election results hacked, handing Trump the win. Apparently there is a 7 point difference between paper ballots and the one's cast electronically, which doesn't add up

Hillary Clinton's campaign is being urged by a number of top computer scientists to call for a recount of vote totals in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to a source with knowledge of the request.

The computer scientists believe they have found evidence that vote totals in the three states could have been manipulated or hacked and presented their findings to top Clinton aides on a call last Thursday.
The scientists, among them J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners, according to the source.

All those states were odds on favorites to vote for Clinton, but that ended up not to be the case apparently.
So, the question is should Clinton, or will Clinton ask for a recount of the votes in those areas? I think she should.

.Additionally, at least three electors have pledged to not vote for Trump and to seek a "reasonable Republican alternative for president through Electoral College," according to a statement Wednesday from a group called the Hamilton Electors, which represents them.

It seems that there is still a small hope that this country could be saved, and get rid of that charlatan before he destroys mankind.

Rigged in the sense of the electoral college, yes. Our country needs to ditch this anti-democratic system which gives disproportionate power to small states.
Agreed. Elect the president by popular vote. Senators come two to a state and reps are divvied up by state population.

There's no valid excuse left for the existence of an electoral college.

For the record, my stance would be the same if the candidates and their election results were reversed.
