cine cu cine votează

== Romanian == === Etymology === Literally, “who votes for whom”. Perhaps a reference to a theme in Ion Luca Caragiale’s famous comedy O scrisoare pierdută. Alternatively in reference to a comment attributed to Joseph Stalin on the massively falsified 1946 Romanian general election: Nu contează cine cu cine votează, contează cine numără voturile (“It doesn’t matter who votes for whom, it matters who counts the votes”). (Stalin is documented to have made a similar remark, but in an unrelated context.) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈt͡ʃi.ne ku ˈt͡ʃi.ne voˈte̯a.zə/ === Phrase === cine cu cine votează (idiomatic, possibly local to Transylvania, Banat) what's what === References ===
