Donald Trump; From The "Archives"!!

Hillary actually WON the popular vote, dummy. She was the first woman to ever run for president on a major party ticket and the WON.

In any democratic country, she would have been declared president. Trump won because of the stupid Electoral College.

Dummies who deny the 2016 democrat voter fraud still mistakenly believe the unpopular wicked witch got more legitimate votes than President Trump.

In Russia she would have been declared the undisputed winner on the strength of the corrupt edict of the fascists who controlled the elections by simply controlling the bootlicks who counted the votes.

Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.

Joseph Stalin (1878-1953)***.

The triple asterisks (***) are there to emphasize that this quote was probably not from Stalin 1 . The reasons abound, but most Cold War, Soviet and Stalinist researchers seem to be of the opinion that this was not one of his quotes — some of them didn't even know about the quote when first asked about it. The only >source that seems to confirm the quote's supposed origin is an unreliable memoir by one of Stalin's personal secretaries, Boris Bazhanov. Stalin's apex of power lasted from 1922 to 1952, and Bazhanov published his book in 1930 after having fled the Soviet Union in 1928, so he also didn't spend that much time with Stalin at the peak of his dictatorship. Anyway, here is what Stalin supposedly had said:

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.

The context was voting inside the Soviet party, which renders more credibility to the quote than would have been expected from those who claim that Stalin couldn't have said anything like it simply because there were no — important — public elections in the Soviet Union.

At any rate, there were probably many other famous thinkers who could have first spelled out this obvious-yet-disregarded truth. One of the oldest ones is from Napoléon III (1808-1873), the nephew of Napoléon Bonaparte (1769-1821) and France's first president (1848-1852):

I care not who casts the votes of a nation, provided I can count them. (26 May, 1880)

Some other honorable mentions are:

"As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it? say?" — attributed to William M. “Boss” Tweed in Thomas Nast cartoon, October 7, 1871).

"There’s more to an election than mere votin’, my boy, for as an eminent American once said: 'I care not who casts the votes of a nation if they’ll let me make the count.'" — from Uncle Henry, a novel by George Creel, 1922.

"It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting, Archie says." — from Jumpers, a play by Tom Stoppard, 1972.

"Indeed, you won the elections, but I won the count." — Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza (1896-1956), The Guardian (London), June 17, 1977.
