thought the same about Brexit. Thought it was surely rigged.
If they rigged it, they did not rig it enough.

Or they didn't want the result you think they did. Has the brexit actually happened? At present the only result of brexit is that the govt can openly discuss how to ignore the opinion of the people while not taking action on the opinion of the people, and the people will patiently wait in silence. When brexit happens I'll believe the vote MAY have been real. Until then I assume it's all going according to plan. Whatever their plan may be.

There's currently a case before Britain's supreme court arguing whether or not Parliament has to approve Brexit first. If it stands, they've got a court stamp on ignoring the most powerful of calls from the people if they don't like them. If Brexit does go through, they're almost certainly going to bank on the experience being miserable enough that it returns to the EU on less special terms.
