Abstract

The denial of voting rights to certain types of persons continues to be a moral problem of practical significance. The disenfranchisement of persons with mental impairments, minors, noncitizen residents, nonresident citizens, and criminal offenders is a matter of controversy. This book makes a contribution to this largely neglected yet key topic

All voting is a sort of gaming... with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it.... I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right: but I am not vitally concerned that the right should prevail.... Even voting for the right is doing nothing. [REVIEW]Ron Hirschbein - 1994 - In Robert Paul Churchill (ed.), The Ethics of Liberal Democracy: Morality and Democracy in Theory and Practice. Berg. pp. 129.
