"Those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide everything."
Of course the liberal fact checkers say it is false. LOL what these fact checkers do is that if a few words or part of a sentence don't completely match up word for word they call it false.
This is like the speech by George C Scott at the beginning of the Patton movie. Yes General Patton never said that speech. However the Speech was an actual collection of many Patton speeches condensed into the speech made by Scott.
But Mark Kramer, director of the Cold War studies program at Harvard University, pointed us to something close. In memoirs written after his retirement, Boris Bazhanov, Stalin’s former personal secretary, claimed that Stalin said: "Я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это кто и как будет считать голоса." It translates to: "I regard it as completely unimportant who in the party will vote and how, but it is extremely important who will count the votes and how."
