I think if the second option was status quo and Russian military weren't occupying the area, and the "stay with Ukraine" side had been allowed to campaign, I think the vote share for stay would have been much higher. Even ignoring the potential of voter fraud due to Russia not allowing real third party observers.

I don't know exactly what it would be or if it would be over 50%, but we should reject the obvious sham that Russia carried out.

Pew Research found that 88% of crimeans wanted Kyiv to recognize the vote and 91% thought it was free and fair.

Do you think that they are wrong?

Do you subscribe to Kyiv's view that holding a vote is a criminal offence?
