“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything,” the communist dictator Joseph Stalin is purported to have said.
If you search this on the Web you will find many flag-waving democracy worshippers who insist on seeing a videotape of Stalin actually saying this before they will accept it. Videotape or not, it would be just as true if Mother Theresa, the Pope, or anyone else said it. Anyone who follows Nevada and Iowa Republican Party politics knows this.
