MENDOCRACY.

Or, ruling through lies.

I wonder what most people would guess "mendocracy" might mean without a wordbook (in any relevant language)? Prob'ly government by men (men- plus -ocracy and ignore the extra d!), or p'raps government by demons, cos y'kno, it has the letters, yes, jumbled, butt their theyre.

PIE? I'm not old enough to remember that - but I suspect some senior Fogfolk still grumble about the Great Vowel Shift, and some of those fraudulent pre-Columbus voters mentioned upthread will remember it if they are as old as claimed.

Fast talkin' guys
with strange Red eyes
Have put things in your head,
It set my mind a wonderin'

Auditor's reply to Maricopa County's debunking of his election findings: You racists!
OPINION: Senate elector auditor Shiva Ayyadurai couldn’t convincingly counter Maricopa County’s debunking of his findings. So he played the race card. It would be funny if it wasn't so terribly sad.

One of the Arizona Senate’s election auditors has fired back at Maricopa County over its dispute of his findings, and goodness, is this thing getting bizarre.

Shiva Ayyadurai couldn’t convincingly counter the county’s point-by-point debunking of his insinuations that fraud may have been afoot in last year’s election.

So, instead, he accused county officials of racism.

Specifically, that the county’s response to his painfully uninformed analysis of early ballot envelope images constituted a “racist smear campaign” — an “attack” conducted with the help of Arizona Mirror Associate Editor Jeremy Duda.

“The inability of Maricopa County election officials and their loyal scribe to keep in line a dark-skinned East Indian-American who dares to use his hard-earned scientific and engineering training and intelligence, is the source of this real racism,” he wrote, in a rather remarkable report Thursday to Senate President Karen Fann and Attorney General Mark Brnovich.

“Their racist attack aimed to shame me back into their segregationist box of behavior that they deem acceptable for person of my background.”

Nowhere in his 67-page response — entitled "How Election Officials Use Media Proxies to Disseminate Misinformation & Disinformation to Avert Investigations of Election Malfeasance" — does Ayyadurai factually refute the county’s explanations for “anomalies” he finds potentially suspicious.

But now that they have successfully ( ) conducted a complete audit from beginning to end, they will have to step aside and let the next state find some grifter with no experience to run its audit.
