Election rigging (not coups)

[KrikkitTwo]

Does anyone know how much influence you get for a rigged election (not a coup)

not off the top of my head but... since you bothered to ask... why dont you find out yourself and let us know for sure =)

you know when its gonna happen.. just look at your influence before.. and after..

my father taught me to never ask a question you could just as easily find the answer to yourself.

Over the full cycle, rigging only produces a small surplus over natural influence loss. (Unless playing Greece or have completed Patronage or the city state shares your religion)
The main point is that it also decreases opponents influence and the spy is already there is the AI gives cash to your city state.

Of course, both your influence and the other civs' influence are going down at the same time (though not necessarily at the same rate), so if rigging elections both increases your influence and decreases that of all other civs, then it's a win for you, even if the increase barely equals the natural influence loss.

I'll check the exact amounts when I get the opportunity to do so.
