We must recognize that “preferring” a candidate is necessarily relative. Hypothetically — and, given the current state of politics, this is purely hypothetical — there could be a race in which both candidates were so equally adored by the population that no one could definitely say he preferred one to the other. Advocates of voter abstention, if they were philosophically consistent, would say that voters should refrain from voting if they simply didn’t prefer any of the candidates, whether the lack of preference is due to equal approval or equal abhorrence. Few people would condone this logic; instead, we recognize that voters must find some way to differentiate the candidates, and then vote for the one whom they support a tad more.
