The quote, or a similar sentiment was attributed to Joseph Stalin:

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how".

But I believe your original point is 100% valid. They may have figured out how to PERMANENTLY rig elections in their favour.
