That's the part that really sticks out for me - that's a sandbag. But which direction? On the one hand, young people "want to be independant." On the other hand, TOO young of a person "wants to get along" and also doesn't want to lose their familiy identification. So I believe some extremely professional level metrics were done on this issue by whomever pushed for this age of voter, in order to swing the election to their choice - apparently to "no."
They reduced the voting age to 16.
But teens apparently didn’t buy it.
