California's effort to get 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote has now enlisted 100,000 teenagers, according to information released on Friday by Secretary of State Alex Padilla.
This is a big milestone, Padilla said. Im optimistic its going to translate into action at the ballot box. The program, which began in the fall of 2016, automatically activates the teens registration at age 18. State officials reported that more than 10% of the total number of pre-registrations have come in just the last few weeks.
Padilla said theres been a noticeable uptick in teenagers signing up following the mass shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school in February and last months nationwide protests over gun violence.

The left in America is the biggest threat to the Republic and the right has very little to counter it with. We are more civil, honest, and true to ourselves. Every great attribute we have as Conservatives upholding the Constitution is leveraged against us by the left. The left easily brainwashes imbeciles of all ages. The Trump win was either a miracle or turning point. The greatest power that we have is the 2nd Amendment and the left knows it. They take that, it’s lights out.
Eighteen year olds should be prohibited from holding a dangerous weapon unless they are in the military. Then they can vote.
This is what I was thinking, too. Won’t matter.
