“Are they voting for YES - A or YES - B?”

FALSE.

The voters are given two choices on the ballot during the Crimean referendum; the voters being able to choose only one:

1) in favor of the reunification of Crimea with Russia as a part of the Russian Federation

2) in favor of restoring the 1992 Constitution and the status of Crimea as a part of Ukraine.

The question should have been solved in 1994. Crimea only belonged to Ukraine because of a drunken Khrushchev trying to atone for his sins as Stalin’s man in the Ukraine.

The ballot asks two questions and leaves no option for a “no” vote. Voters are simply asked to check one of two boxes:

Do you support joining Crimea with the Russian Federation as a subject of Russian Federation?

And:

Do you support restoration of 1992 Crimean Constitution and Crimea’s status as a part of Ukraine?

That Constitution declares that Crimea is an independent state.
