The claim: Joseph Stalin once made a statement about the power of vote
counters.
After days of counting, President-elect Joe Biden’s home state of
Pennsylvania pushed him past the 270 electoral votes to become the 46th
president of the United States.
The state's key Democratic strongholds like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
counted mail-in ballots for days. And with each ballot counted, the former
vice president’s lead over President Donald Trump grew.
Biden was sitting at 264 electoral votes, awaiting results from Pennsylvania
, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina. Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes
pushed him over the mark on Saturday.
Ballot counting continued across the country on Tuesday.
As the election approached, memes and commentary on social media increased,
including many posts that included inaccurate information.
One post, an image of former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin with text added,
appears to attribute a quip about vote counting to the dictator.
"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide
everything," the post says, attributing it to "Communist Tyrant and mass
murderer Josef Stalin."
But experts say there's no evidence Stalin ever uttered the words.
Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
Stalin, who died in 1953, ruled the former Soviet Union under a brutal
regime for decades. And although there is much on the record of the dictator
's opinion on elections, no one has yet verified the statement to be a true
quote.
