Elections and referenda held under duress are frauds. Such explains why the United States and many other countries never recognized the Soviet annexation of Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania in which the Soviet Union forced sham elections for "people's parliaments" to which people who would do the Soviet bidding were the sole choices, and that these delegates would form a new government whose sole purpose was to send a delegation to Moscow begging for annexation by the Soviet Union.
Decisions made under duress are invalid under international, criminal, and commercial law. Fraudulent elections cannot be the basis of a lawful government.
