Even if the votes had not been "rigged" (or unfair towards those dissenting towards Russia's view on Crimea), it would still have passed, or been extremely close to (not really sure on this though tbh). Many Crimeans desire the economic and social security which comes from joining the relatively stable Russians, and if they do, they should be allowed, just as should be in all independence movements. However, assuming that Russia actually has an interest in the Crimeans is disingenuous at best, rather wanting to consolidate their regional interests and "test" Europe. Whatever the case, this is not as simple as the double entente of EU + US vs. Russia.

I'm not surprise, you rig elections in each country/region, which you seize, so why should there be any different in this case?
