Investopedia explains 'Fudget'

A well-known scandal involving a fudget occurred in British Columbia in the late 1990s. Voters who learned that New Democratic Party politicians had falsified their provincial budgets, filed a lawsuit that sought to overturn the results of a recent election, because they claimed they would have voted differently given accurate budget information. The voters lost the lawsuit, but established a precedent for future lawsuits.
