I was talking with my wife a few minutes ago and we both thought it would be a good idea to raise the voting age back to 21, with the exception that if you're active military you can vote if you are under 21. Would that take an amendment appeal?

It will never happen. This is the problem here in NJ, almost 650,000 residents belong to a state workers union, add in their relatives and retirees and it's a no win situation. Not to mention the welfare contingent. The majority of New Jersians are on the government dole in one way or another. The dims have figured out that handing out crumbs will attract the stupid voter. Getting votes is more important than a balanced budget! I don't think that Middle Class in NJ can take much more BS.

If you mean repeal, then yes. It would require a constitutional amendment voiding Amendment XXVI.
