Good luck with that!! We just had an election in Kentucky where fewer than in three ADULTS voted!!!
Oh, yes, I can see this already. BUSSED to the POLLS Straight from public school, where they have been educated to vote DEM!!! YEP YEP YEP
Yep, they are scared so they want to lower the voting age. They are betting public school educated children will be indoctrinated at school to vote for them.

Skulls full of mush daily indoctrinated with liberalism. Sounds like Democrats’ wet dream.
Changing it to 18 was a really BAD idea in the first place. So why not double down?
Do you think they would bother with the logistics of actually voting? Teacher will just mail in absentee for the entire class.
After they find out exactly who (what?) they elected, they'll need a stiff shot of Jack. Maybe 2 or 3.
I’m 20, and I don’t think anyone under 25 should be able to vote...if not 30.
Yup. What it is is an attempt to get the camel’s nose under the door gay marriage style.
dc would go left without them. So it’s not for DC. It’s for the rest of us.

OR GOP HQ.

.....a real job (not government service)....
I agree except for cases of military service.
Some people would argue that you are advocating military personnel not be able to vote.
I am assuming you are speaking only of employees of the various alphabet agencies.
That does lead me to ask about the FBI, CIA and Secret Service?
Would they get an exemption along with the military?
Just wondering.
Hey, if they can vote, they can buy a gun, beer, liquor, you name it!
Hell, they’re barely out of gov’t preschool (those that made it).
That’s redundant.
;-)
And THAT is the truth ;)
