KANT> Lying is ALWAYS morally wrong. Humans are born with Intrinsic worth, human ditgnity. Humans are rational agents capable of free will, setting goals, and guiding themselves according to reason.
"To be human, is to respect the power in oneself and others."
Lying Corrupts the ability to make free, rational choices. Each lie contradicts self moral worth.
If I am lying to someone about a choice they should make this leads people to decide other than they would had violating autonomy. Violating free will.
It is true that we are born with free will to make rational choices, but take into consideration that in this scenario for example> Voter1: Im voting for pepe lobo you should vote for him too
Voter 2> but i dont think he is right he has promised death penalty
Voter 1> He did before but says he now regrets it and wont even come near to mention it (lie?pajombe)
voter2> oh ok then i will vote for him
Voter's 2 free will has been violated, his choice corrupted now by voters 1 lie. This lie violated Voter's 2 free will...he now acted acording to Voter's 1 will...

Agreed: we are born with our own moral choices and we can choose what to do. However, it is not always wrong to lie, it depends on the person and the way he approached the situation. The person has the right to choose what he wants and he is the one to judge his acts.
