This smacks of the 1969 movie Wild in the Streets. A charismatic rock star got a senator’s endorsement to lower the voting age to 14, and it was all over as a society. Very apocalyptic.

OK.....then let those same 16 year olds be Tried as adults, when they commit crimes?

Indoctrination in public schools is what causes this to be beneficial to the Progressives: kids don't have a clue on real life, so they vote for handouts and support for their lack of responsibility.....

Do they also allow mail-in ballots, for "local" elections?

The voting age should be raised to 21, preferably 25.

The most popular new political slogan: “Free candy!”

Will they also allow the 16 year old’s to vote to lower the age for alcohol purchases?

Or do what the queers want, to lower the age of sexual consent?

Eventually, they will allow 12 year old’s to vote and have sex with adults. This is what filthy degenerate liberals do.

I’d be satisfied if they just restricted it to property owners like in the beginning................

Aren’t the libtards always going on and on about “adolescent brains aren’t fully developed”? Don’t they try to use that defense in court over and over? And yet they would trust the same adolescents to vote for candidates and issues? A recipe for disaster is what they gave themselves.

The 16 year olds should vote themselves the right to keep and bear arms. And drink hooch!

Do they get a special ballot with only the appropriate boxes or the same as adults?

The ballot counting machines can't tell how old they are.

Democrat logic, your brains are not developed enough to drink alcohol or for you to go to war, but you are old enough to make permeant life changing decisions when they are most likely going to keep democrats in power.

They can vote only in local municipal elections.
I wonder if that includes SCHOOL BOARDS?
Teachers could influence their students to vote for certain people and not others, or vote for certain referenda that affects them..................

Flavius Josephus, around 70 AD:

“the madness of those that were for innovations”

The quote is from “War of the Jews” Book 7, Chapter 1, Section 1

https://www.biblestudytools.com/history/flavius-josephus/war-of-the-jews/book-7/chapter-1.html

Within the sentence:

“This was the end which Jerusalem came to by the madness of those that were for innovations; a city otherwise of great magnificence, and of mighty fame among all mankind.”

II’m sure it’s more about getting more mail-in ballots out there than extending the franchise to DC’s yoots.

That would be in their first election. When the second cycle rolls around, they’re over 18. They would then be on the roles for general elections.

Yeah, I know. But it seemed highly relevant.

Yep. Totally agree. Don’t let free loaders vote.

You should never let two wolves and a lamb vote on what to have for lunch.

The age limit, ID, and prohibited person laws should be the same to buy a gun as to vote.
