What Makes a Vote Moral or Immoral? The Ethics of Voting

“Does the character of a candidate matter to the ethical significance of a vote? Yes, and it does by the same chain of moral causation described above, only now culpability transfers not through issues like a, b, c, d, and e, but through the person him or herself. If I choose a babysitter for my children whom I know has poor character… or a treasurer for my church whom I know has poor character, I become at least partially complicit in any bad decisions each of these individuals make.” - 9 Marks
