In Sevastopol 123% of the population voted for secession.

By Marie Luise Beck, Politician
Member of the German Bundestag

“By 8PM, 1,250,426 persons cast their ballots. This excludes the results from Sevastopol.
Counting the ballots from Sevastopol, 1,724,563 persons voted,” he said.

Let’s do the math: 1,724,563 – 1,250,426 = 474,137, the number of persons who voted in Sevastopol.

474,137 divided by 385,462 multiplied by 100 equals 123% of Sevastopol’s population who voted for the annexation of Crimea to Russia.

That means that everyone voted – counting babies, school children and probably, the dead.
