Except that's not what happened. They just flat out lied about the results.

If only 30% showed up to vote it's their problem. 50% of the people that voted wanted to be part of Russia. That's enough to elect a moron president in the US.

Don't even need 50% of those who voted in the US - electoral vs referendum style.

Why does this feel like Russia purposely released these? Just taunting us and waiting for us to throw the first stone.

Is it their problem for not showing up? If you KNEW that the numbers put out would be fake, would you show up?
