a "hack", or a "workaround" is more appropriate perhaps, rather than a backdoor.
It reminds me of technical debt. Instead of rewriting the original buggy code, we add one more feature and we certainly don't change anything to the original code.
So instead we have:
"This is the logic, we do this A and this B, but oh well, anyway it's C"
Simpler is better, especially on crucial things such as elections.
