No, and 21 should be the minimum voting age.

Seems a little contradictory when they also want the age for legal firearms purchases to be raised to 21 and to keep the age for drinking a beer at that age as well.

I suggest we eliminate voting where an incumbent is running. It’s basically a waste of time.

They are generally too uninformed to vote in high school elections.

Well, I, for one, knew EVERYTHING when I was 16. Of course that was in 1963 and we didn’t need to know as much then. But, based on some of the recent (s)elections, it appears that raising it would be the correct direction to take.

The human brain is not fully developed until age 25. That is what I think it should be raised to.

Sixteen year-olds voting? What, the demoKKKrats don’t have enough illegals and dead people voting to win elections?

Personally I think too many 16 year-olds are too smart to fall for the ‘rat scam. They need to lower the voting age to about 6, maybe 5.

No one should be able to vote until they are 35 AND paying taxes.

Democrats are desperate to add as many voters as possible by any means possible. They MUST overthrow Trump and if legitimate American voters won’t do it, then they’ll find/invent new voters.
