Who would Voltaire and Camus vote for?

I wonder if either of them would even vote. Camus might find that voting is an illusion of choice and that there is no purpose in it, considering that his life will probably not be affected as a writer. Voltaire on the other hand would begin to consider the candidates and realize he is choosing the lesser of two evils. Then he would come to the conclusion that is similar to Camus and say that neither represent his wishes for the world. I believe they would think our political system is a joke. The reasons people vote for certain candidates is mostly based on social issues that the candidates claim they will "fix" or how they publicly speak. Voltaire would probably end up questioning the candidates and asking them about the technicalities of their plan going into office, and what they believe in and why. This would lead him to see the lies and facade of the whole ordeal. BUT considering that Mitt Romney(what kind of name is that) is a complete idiot and contradicts most things he claims on a daily basis, they would lean towards Obama, a charismatic and intelligent individual. Someone who cares more for the people then his own pocketbook and those of his friends. This sounds prejudiced, but just by the way Romney treats people is demeaning and makes him seem fake and heartless. So all in all I'm not sure that either of the two will be voting from heaven, but if they are they will pick Obama. No one really wants Romney they just might not want Obama.
