Ghost voter

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Ghost Voter is just a dictionary term used to define a vote that should not have counted in an electoral ballet because the voter is either dead, ineligible, or non-existent. As a result, not much has been done to improve the article since its creation over 4 1/2 years ago. The three sources are not that great being that they just define the term and do not provide anything encyclopedic (e.g. origins, history, criticisms, notable cases, etc) and searching the term on Google and Google Books do not come up with anything better. Last week, a PROD that provided a clear reason for deletion was removed by User:Colonel Warden without an explanation. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 12:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Electoral fraud, the original reason for decision provided in the PROD seems legitimate and I don't see enough reason for this term to have its own article. Ducknish (talk) 14:14, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to Electoral fraud. Per nom. & Ducknish, not notable enough for a standalone article. Does have some sourcing, however, and is a relevant point of interest within the subject of electoral fraud.--JayJasper (talk) 16:43, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
