I am all for going back to voters having to own property ( be it land, house, condo; cars and cell phones don’t count ) it shows you have an interest in the welfare of this country.

As long as 18 years old serve in military they should vote. Women, I have my opinion, but they should vote as well if they fulfill the property ( via marriage or solo ) and age requirement.

Respectfully, I remind you that many who fought and died in the Revolutionary War were under 21 - age qua age in fighting should not be a criterion for the franchise. I would die for my family, at whatever age (USMC 69-72), and I would have expected no less from my son in defense of our country or his family.

Women as a species should not have the franchise - period. I have an educated wife (Masters level) and 2 daughters with graduated degrees and 1 son. I know the territory, have observed voting habits for 60+ years.
