Who would Albert Camus and Voltaire vote for?

This year's presidential election has been very interesting, with a whole slew of candidates running, each having distinct beliefs, opinions on major issues, and polarizing viewpoints. We most likely know who we want to vote for, but how about Albert Camus and Voltaire? Here, with the powers of necromancy, I will tell you who they would vote for.

Albert Camus:
Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party

As reflected in his book The Starnger, Camus feels that life and the things in it are meaningless, and are irrelevant to oneself. He would probably be in agreement with the Libertarian Party's viewpoints and ideals, e.g. laissez-faire markets, non-interventionist foreign policy and fewer restrictions and more lax laws overall.
If he thinks things have no meaning, Camus would probably have a “let it be” or laissez-faire philosophy.

Voltaire:
Undecided


Voltaire is currently undecided, as he feels none of the candidates have touched on issues that concerns. He knows who he will not vote for, however. He will not vote for Mitt Romney (R) or Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party, because of the involvement of religion in their viewpoints.
