House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) proposed lowering the voting age to 16 years old or 17 years old.
“To achieve what we want to do for the middle class, for kids in school, for immigration reform, for all these things, we must change our politics. We must reduce the role of money in politics. We must dare to do that and so we have a dare, disclose, where is this money coming from, this dark money? Amend the Constitution to overturn Citizens United. Let’s get out there and mobilize and do it. Reform our campaign system to empower small donors and empower voters with a renewed and strengthened Voting Rights Act, removing obstacles of participation,” Pelosi said at the Make the Progress summit sponsored by the Center for American Progress.
“I’m for – and I’m interested in hearing your thoughts, and I know you’ll let me know – for lowering the voting age to high school age, whether it’s 16 or 17 or, because when kids are in school they’re so interested, they’re so engaged, and we would like them to be ready at least to register before they leave.”

They want 100,000's of felons to vote.
They have a total lock on Presidential elections for the next generation, or until America collapses.
But that's JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
They want 100's of millions of immature, uneducated children to vote, too.
They want KIM JUNG UN numbers.... 97.9% votes for them.
I’m in favor of raising it to 25.
I’m certain she would be all for 10 as the age of consent, as well.
They can practice this shit in California - see how it turns out there first.
I think my 9-year old should be allowed to vote along with the dog we plan on getting soon.
Sure!
More Kardashian and Snooki fans who get their “news” from mtv and twitter...what could possibly be any better?
Obama’s Illegals need to Vote
If you are not old enough to serve your nation in the military you are not old enough to vote.
No Way.......this is absurd
Yeah, my granddaughter is a full and mature 2 1/2 years old and is being discriminated against by not being able to legally vote. I guess she should be a democrat as they are sure to find a way around the egregious discrimination.
Then lower thr drsft snd enlistment sgr to 16 “Wenda Witch”.
Pelosi’s next?
“We should actually lower the voting age to negative 6 years of age. We can register the children that the parents plan on having, and have them vote. Parents can do the actual voting. Why shouldn’t people who are not yet conceived have a voice as to the world they will eventually be born into??”
Considering a brain isn’t considered developed fully until your mid 20s..
WTF is she thinking?
Are the browns turning on the DEMs too?
“Pelosi Proposes Lowering the Voting Age to 16”
Of course she would. Plenty of brainwashed, liberal-indoctrinated kids in our nation’s high schools.
They would have make a special app for smartphones for these kids. Then they would propose allowing “American Idol” style text votes and there would be a limit of 50 votes per customer.
I have to get busy on that, BTW. Thanks for the reminder.
What’s the matter Nancy baby, you don’t have enough ‘illegal immigrants’ and ‘dead files’ to stack your votes???? LMAO
Okay as long as they are property owners, have jobs, pay taxes, and are born in this country..................
I’m in favor of raising it to 25.
My God, this woman is beyond stupid.
