Election Ethics and Calvin & Hobbes

If I could only read one comic book series for my entire life, it would probably be Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes (Garfield would be a very close second). I revisited Calvin and Hobbes a couple days ago, and it's clear the the cartoons are not just for poops and giggles. In fact, some strips touch on some pretty deep philosophical questions and circle back to ongoing discussions on election ethics.


1. Importance of Informed Voting & Right to Vote vs. Rightness of Voting


2. Legitimacy of Compulsory/Mandatory Voting


3. "Single-Issue" Politics
