Woah... I am coming into this very late and there are over five pages of responses, so I will respond only to the OP. I think, for me, it comes down to this...if a man I willingly, fully submitted to told me to vote some way, even if it were not the vote I would choose, I would do it. However, it would cause some serious thoughts to float about in my mind. Stealing votes, even that of your slave, is cheating. Do I really want to be with a person who is cheating within his chosen society? Even by one itsy bitsy little vote? Why should he get two votes when every other person gets one? I would have more respect for him were he to tell me that as his property, I am not allowed to vote, than for him to use my vote to steal an extra notch up on his fellow, one-vote citizens. Often, it is the little cheats and steals here and there that reveal the nature of a person, not the gigantic, the glaring, and the obvious ones.
