In the sentence, "I couldn't care less who wins.", the sequence, "couldn't care", is difficult to say, thus, over the years this has been shortened to "could care", with the same meaning. That is, "I couldn't care less who wins." and "I could care less who wins." have the same meaning. "I could care less" is what you'd hear today.
