But even if the high expected utility of a swing state vote grounds a duty to cast a swing state vote, this consideration could not ground a I general i duty to vote. Jason Brennan argues that defenders of a duty to vote must solve the I particularity problem i - why must a citizen honor their duty to contribute to justice and the common good by voting in particular? Julia Maskivker's I The Duty to Vote i is an outstanding contribution to the ethics of voting literature. Maskivker writes, "Voting as a collective effort is in principle instrumentally valuable because - if done carefully - it will result in the promotion of welfare and justice for the general population as a result of citizens choosing governments that care about such things" (p. 47).
