Washington D.C. Could Let 16-Year-Olds Vote For President

by Cristina Laila

Here we go.
The Washington D.C., City Council is preparing to vote on lowering the voting age for all elections to 16, according to the Associated Press.

Via AP:
The Washington, D.C., City Council is preparing to vote on a bill to lower the voting age to 16 for all elections, both local and federal.

WTOP-FM reports the bill won 3-0 approval in the Judiciary and Public Safety committee Thursday and will get a final vote before the full council this month.

The 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens 18 and older the right to vote, but scholars have said it doesn’t prevent a state, or in this case, the nation’s capital, from setting a lower age.

Of course this only drives the popular vote in DC and won’t change the amount of electoral votes (DC offers 3 EC votes), however; this is just the beginning for the Democrats.

The Democrats have been pushing to lower the voting at to 16 because they know they can easily brainwash and influence the youth.

Youth are bombarded with anti-American, ultra left-wing propaganda in public schools and on social media so of course the Dems want them to vote.

The left will take this victory in Washington D.C. and push it in all 50 states.
