faggot voter
A faggot voter or faggot was a person who qualified to vote in an election with a restricted suffrage only by the exploitation of loopholes in the regulations. Typically, faggot voters satisfied a property qualification by holding the title to subdivisions of a large property with a single beneficial owner. Faggot-voting was a common electoral abuse in the United Kingdom until the electoral reforms of the late nineteenth century.
==Etymology==
The word ''faggot'' originally meant a piece or bundle of gathered firewood. It was later applied to civilians added to a military muster roll purely to make up the numbers rather than to serve as soldiers. The extension from muster rolls to electoral rolls is attested from 1817.
