SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia — Bolivia’s largest state voted Sunday on a sweeping autonomy referendum that leaders said would forge “a new Bolivia,” defying leftist President Evo Morales, who called the vote unconstitutional. Minor clashes across Santa Cruz state injured at least 25 people during the politically charged vote, which sought to separate the state’s freewheeling capitalism and mixed-blood heritage from Morales’ vision of a communal state ruled by indigenous Andean values.
