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.

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.

Only if they can 1) be drafted, 2) be able to sign financial contracts 3) pay taxes 4) be held accountable as adults in any court action....need I go on? In other words OF COURSE NOT, AND ANYONE SUGGESTING THIS SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE AND/OR PUT IN A STRAIT JACKET...THEY ARE A DANGER.

If they’re not only enough to enlist, smoke, drink, or get a concealed carry permit, they’re not old enough to vote.

Well, Nancy? Are they?

Why stop at 16? Let’s say as soon as you can read, you can vote... 8? Heck, most 8 year olds are just as bright as the average Democrat voter... oh, wait, that’s the plan.

No one should be voting who is not self-supporting.

So, that would mean no one below the age of consent, and for that matter, no one who is below the usual college age.

Based on that, 22 minimum. By that time you’re typically out of college, out of your first term in the military, and out of your parents home (at least for the first time...)

Voting age should be 21, just as is being required to purchase tobacco products. I’ve long held that most folks aren’t mature enough to make good decisions at 18 to allow them to vote, at 16 it is worse, but then they will like the Dem’s bribe of offering ‘free stuff’ and vote them in.
