    Top 10 searches. The only one that shows armed guards when people might be voting is from Ghana.
    The stories from Pakistan and India show armed guards when the ballot boxes are being moved to the counting area and guarding them until the counting starts.

    The next 10, there are 3 links about armed Russian men when voting occurred in the Donbas.
    There is one story about armed guards transporting boxes to be counted Sri Lanka.
    As I said- there are places where ballots have armed guards. Spin on.

    Your moving the goal posts doesn't do anything other than prove you have no argument that defends sending armed men to stand over people when the vote on whether to join Russia and leave the Ukraine.

    All four regions have voted to join Russia. The particulars should be completed by the weekend.

    Attacking Russia is not advisable. We await further NATO stupidity and Russia's response.

    In their homes when they fill out their ballots? Do we also expect to see fire fights break out inside those homes as enemy combatants are in the homes 40km behind the lines?

    There IS no conversation. You simply enjoy posing and reveling in irrelevant minutiae.

    Good luck.

    You're a propaganda sponge. Sorry that the referenda didn't turn out as you'd have liked.

    Irrelevant minutiae like armed men forcing voters to force a certain way? Yeah.. so much for your belief this was a fair election.

    President Putin is now expected to announce the accession of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson to the Russian Federation. Residents will have all the benefits of Russian citizenship, including the right to volunteer for military service. Any military action against these areas will be considered an attack on Russia. However, Ukrainian Nazis can still attack Lviv.
    We had a referendum in Alaska and only 77% voted to rejoin Russia.
