Rigged
https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/xphyov/initial_votes_show_over_96_in_occupied_ukraine/
Generated from TLDR This:
People cast their votes in sham referendums in Russian-occupied Donetsk Oblast on Sept. 24, 2022. (
The so-called vote at gunpoint has been declared null and void by all countries that commented on the issue.
During the "referendums," the Russian troops were checking residents' houses and writing down the names of locals who voted against the annexation, according to Luhansk Oblast Governor Serhiy Haidai.
They point weapons at people, give them these 'ballots' and tell exactly which box to check."
Russian state-controlled news outlet RIA Novosti wrote that Russia might formally annex the occupied regions on Oct. 4.
Kyiv warned that the illegal annexation votes would not change Ukraine's counteroffensive plans and that there would be no peace talks in case these "referendums" take place.

Could they at least have come up with a slightly believable number Jesus Christ they're just playing into NATO's hands with this nonsense

It's a farce and everyone knows it, even Russian nationalists. This is just the system going through the motions with the least amount of effort, ala Soviet bureaucracy.

It actually only goes six levels deep. That is, They know we know they know we know they know we know they're lying, but We don't know they know we know they know we know they know we know they're lying. That's why the trick works.

I don't think they are trying to convince westerners with this, probably a propaganda move for their own population to believe and to agree to defend those territories

Yeah I think this is more likely what it is. I’m betting the more nationalist factions have been clamoring for full mobilization and annexation for months now (and being they are probably the one faction that actually could coup Putin, he’ll at least somewhat concede to them) and this is more of an effort to get them off his back.

It's like the acupuncture studies in China that have efficacy rates that aren't plausible even for effective treatments. They just can't restrain themselves.

The number might be real since anyone voting in these referendums is probably pro-Russia already.

They mention its only like 60% attendance rate which makes sense, the 40% of pro ukros or neutral people wouldnt want to vote to give it legitimacy anyway

If the numbers were "more believable", NATOids would say they deliberately maniputaled the numbers to make them more believable. There's no "winning" here.
It's not a surprise that those who have stayed in a region while it endured Ukrainian attacks and shellings for 8 years actually want to be a part of Russia. Those who don't want to either didn't participate in the referedum or left that area a long time ago.

They do it so in 6 months (
) shills and r-slurs can ignore that part and claim that the regions voted, and since everyone else will have moved on and forgotten about it, the idea will slowly take hold.
At least thats the idea.

It's not rigged, and there's absolutely no evidence of organized fraud. These far right conspiracy theorists need to stop with this anti-democracy rhetoric. Russians can't be forced to live under minority rule. This is about the future of our democracy.

It ends with russoids getting bussy blasted, at least.
They could take Kiev this year and it won’t change the fact that money talks in international relations. That’s why the Soviet Union crumbled in the end.
There are 4 US states with higher GDPs than the entirety of Russia, not to mention Yuropooristan.
They’re going to take a massive L, and it will happen in our lifetimes.
