“Are they voting for YES - A or YES - B?”
FALSE.
The voters are given two choices on the ballot during the Crimean referendum; the voters being able to choose only one:
1) in favor of the reunification of Crimea with Russia as a part of the Russian Federation
2) in favor of restoring the 1992 Constitution and the status of Crimea as a part of Ukraine.
The question should have been solved in 1994. Crimea only belonged to Ukraine because of a drunken Khrushchev trying to atone for his sins as Stalin’s man in the Ukraine.
The ballot asks two questions and leaves no option for a no vote. Voters are simply asked to check one of two boxes:
Do you support joining Crimea with the Russian Federation as a subject of Russian Federation?
And:
Do you support restoration of 1992 Crimean Constitution and Crimea’s status as a part of Ukraine?
That Constitution declares that Crimea is an independent state.
