So the election after the invasion can't be justification of the invasion.

Also the election was clearly not a free and fair one. (Which isn't to say the side that won might not have won but the result would at least have been a lot tighter.

As for American elections some of them might have been effected by fraud but not nearly as much, and in any case tu quoque isn't much of a defense (esp. when its being used as a justification for invasion and conquest).

And even if the result had been an expression of the genuine wishes of the people who lived in the area before the Russian attack the fact that some small area of a country might have a majority of people who would like to be part of another country is dubious as justification for armed attack and annexation.
