 * Keep or redirect I don't disagree that this should part of an article, not as a stand-alone article, but I am having difficulty figuring out where to put it.  It cannot simply be deleted because although I never heard of her before stumbling on this AFD, this was a major deal incident.  Problem is where to redirect.  Electoral fraud, a dishearteningly inadequate article does not have an American sub-article.   Is it too bold to suggest Moving this to a purpose-created article on Electoral fraud in the United States in the hope that such an article will grow (since there are other notable historical examples of this sort of thing)?E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:57, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Info should be moved into Electoral fraud article, perhaps into a new section specifying fraud in voting in the United States. CrispyGlover (talk) 20:36, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- at a quick search, I'm unable to find RS for the statement "She is often cited as an example of alleged widespread voter fraud in the United States", which appears to be OR / SYNTH. The rest is WP:BIO1E situation and an article in unneeded. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:34, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:BLP1E.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:46, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
