Yeah, given what polls were saying this is shockingly close (65% yes iirc). Russian money down the toilet though so that’s something.
BBC saying it’ll swing further “yes” from votes yet to be counted thankfully:
Moldovan media said many of the votes yet to be counted had been cast abroad and would likely lean towards Yes, as the Moldovan diaspora is broadly in favour of closer ties with the EU.
A BBC producer [at a polling station] heard a woman who had just dropped her ballot in the transparent box ask an election monitor where she would get paid.
Outside, we asked directly whether she had been offered cash to vote and she admitted it without qualms. She was angry that a man who had sent her to the polling station was no longer answering her calls. “He tricked me!” she said.
She would not reply when asked who she had voted for.
It’s like those tests where people get shocked badly and then grow so bored by sitting still for 15 minutes that they voluntarily shock themselves multiple times just to cure boredom.
Except with permanent, life-altering consequences in some of these votes.
The amount of 50.x Vs. 49.x votes lately is too damn high.

Interesting BBC article. At the end, it says:
I think we know.
The Kremlin tricking people onto voting against their own interests, shocking!
When the Kremlin wants people to vote, this never means anything good.
Other than Brexit, they’re usually encouraging people to vote against their own ability to vote.
Stupid enough to not even take the money beforehand. Amazing. But exactly the type of people one needs to target for this.
Buying 300k votes can really swing an election. Honestly, it’s a miracle that it passed with the rampant fraud
Over issues with a broadly agreeable right answer versus the worst possible wrong answer.
Cake or death?
But what if the cake isnt good
Im not sure what to choose
