Russian-installed officials in occupied regions of Ukraine reported huge majorities on Tuesday in favour of becoming part of Russia after five days of voting in so-called referendums that Kyiv and the West denounced as a sham.
Hastily arranged votes had taken place in four areas - the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, and to the south Zaporizhzhia and Kherson - that make up about 15% of Ukrainian territory.
Luhansk authorities said 98.4% of people there had voted to join Russia. In Zaporizhzhia, a Russian-appointed official put the figure at 93.1%. In Kherson, the head of the voting committee put the "yes" vote at above 87%.

I’ll answer that.
720,000 minimum in Zaporizhzhia were denied a vote but their feet are sticking to UKRAINIAN held turf.
Maybe 60,000 voted under duress.
A confirmed 30,000 votes were cast in Russia, probably by Russian nationals.
You figure it out.
Do you mean the guy who works for Sputnik and was paid by the Russians?
Or the observers who were already on an international Fake Monitor watch list months ago - people who go where they’re paid and who have previous for shilling for the state holding the vote, ignoring blatant fraud, etc?
Still trotting out that lie? Even if true it would not apply to Kherson and Zaporizhzhya oblasts. And how can the results for the Zaporizhzhya oblast be accepted when half of the oblast, including the city of Zaporizhzhya itself, were excluded from the vote?

Screen grab from Russian TV showing the Zaporizhzhia referendum COUNT.
97.81% of 38,672 votes cast.
Only 605 no votes.
These numbers are real. Well, as real as 92% yesterday and 53% earlier were. Russia can’t even settle on the numbers.
What’s the population of Zaporizhzhia city?
710,052 (on 1 January 2022.)
That number is also real.
In other words, less than 6% of the population of Zaporizhzhia Oblast even got to vote.
A referendum that denies 94% of elegible participants a vote and declares a near 98% win is even less reliable than a TV advert saying 85% of 350 women voted some ludicrously overpriced tub of aqueous cream as a miracle beauty product.
Russia the good guys. Ukraine the bad guys. Never forget.
To give the illusion of a “proper vote”.
Invisible ink and X ray vision used in the count in Zaporizhzhia.
This is off Russian news. The full grab is on Reddit.
You can clearly see and hear the woman counting unsigned ballot sheets off with “Da...” and sticking them in the Yes pile. Without even looking at the printed sides and boxes.
To her left is the cameraman and sound man, the narrative is from a female reporter.

It’s not the only video. Another one has several women counting stacks of again unsigned ballot papers on a table, the camera walks round the table so you get to see all of the piles.
And a third video with a male reporter also shows unticked ballot papers being put in the Yes piles.
There’s quite an inconsistency with the folks who rightly kicked off over ballot rigging and voting shenanigans in the USA only a couple of years ago, but look at this level of brazen vote rigging live during a Russian mainstream TV news broadcast, and think it’s fine.
Basically... as long as the end result is 96% of the population of Zaporizhzhia is annexed without a vote, any resulting escalation after Vlad annexes their city on Friday is also fine provided it causes George Soros some mild irritation.
Soros WANTS millions to die.
So he isn’t going to be at all upset if Russia nukes a city in Zaporizhzhia for the crime of not accepting the result of a bullshit referendum where blank ballot sheets were used to inflate a tiny minority’s endorsement of the annexation proposal.
I’m sure this will be just as fraud free as our 2020 election. Will the media accept the results?
