Voltaire and Camus are voting for...

I feel as though neither Voltaire nor Camus would vote in this election.
Based on Candide, it seems as if Voltaire wants everyone to focus on themselves and making themselves better people. At the end of the book, He Voltaire stated that we should all tend our own gardens and focus on the individual rather than the group. Voltaire wouldn't want to vote for anyone that might affect that philosophy.
Camus wouldn't vote because he seems to think everything about life is rediculous. I don't think he would want to "waste" his time voting when everything would end up the same way.
