Rigged ? I don't think that anyone is meddling with tele-voting. However, it is true that some people vote accordingly to nationality more than to song quality. The principle is the same as in politics, where people are more likely to support someone from their state, regardless of his/hers views. Nothing new here, move on.
And, if I understand eurovision voting correctly, at least top 5 songs need many more points than just those of neighbouring countries.
