The voting age needs to be raised to 35 or 40 when people are living in the real world with bills and responsibilities and start to get a little common sense.

Anyone on welfare should not have a vote.

At the very least, the age to vote should be the same as the age required to drink (21).

That's an interesting take. I had previously thought that people should meet a threshhold of being able to pay a certain amount of taxes, or own property or a business, except if they are old and have already done that for many years. But of course it would be harder to track.

Let's keep it simple and go back to one of the provisions of the Founders: only men can vote. That will decimate the Democrat party right there.
