A Dictionary of Law
<A faggot vote is where a man is formally possessed of a right to vote for members of parliament, without possessing the substance which the vote should represent; as if he is enabled ta buy a property, and at the same moment mortgage it to its full value for the mere sake of the vote. Such a vote is called a “faggot vote.”
