The Amendment that lowered the voting age from 25 was a disaster for conservatives.
I support a repeal of that Amendment.
Then again, the Amendment that offered suffrage to females has also been a disaster for conservatives.

I strongly agree with you on the 26th amendment, and I sort of agree with you on the 19th amendment, but the one that did the most damage to the Nation was the 24th amendment.
Removing taxes as a requirement to vote is what has caused most of the mess in Washington. Now that they don't have to worry about getting punished by taxpayers, it has opened up the money spigot in Washington, and from that they have gotten even more power.
The 26th Amendment didn’t lower the voting age from 25, but rather 21. Two or three states, already had 18 or 19 as their voting age, the rest were already at 21 which used to be the traditional age of adulthood for men.
If it were repealed, I very much doubt that any state would try to raise voting age back to 21. The “optics” would be awful and you’d face the wrath of people who could vote. Being against lowering the voting age is much safer because the subjects involved can’t vote. But there is nothing in the Constitution that prevents a state from lowering the voting age and I doubt that it would even require a state constitutional amendment.
