They should change the voting age to 30
The approximate age of maturity for youngsters these days.
The school bus can take them right to the polling place. Boy, you can really pad some of the precincts.
Democrats and Sanders!
Why have rules if every rule seems to have an exemption, exception, subsidy, exclusion, immunity or may/may not be enforced at will?
-— I’d guess Cruz.-—
Gee, who else could it be?
Rolling eyes...
Wouldn’t it be fun to do an exit poll of 17 year olds and find out a majority voted for Trump!
?...............LOL!...............
I saw that too!................
Changing laws willy nilly !
Younger people tend to be MUCH more leftist in thinking. They haven’t had time to experience life.
This is a RAT ploy, plain and simple.
I honestly think that voting should be restricted to 21 unless you are in the military, then you can drink and vote at 18. If not, wait until 21.
+1 votes for Trump. My daughter was affected.
What next, allowing 5th graders to vote? Then I can vote!
It doesn’t say 18 is minimum, it says:
SECTION 1
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
It leaves open the possibility of a state to allow 18 month olds.
yes, I totally agree with you!
I don’t have a problem either. My nephew is turning 18 in Indiana before the national election but since that is the case, he can vote in the primary. A pretty red state. Oh yeah we’re a trump family. My wife my son and myself all vote trump on Tuesday in Florida. Can’t wait!

Sure, what can go wrong with an additional million low information voters...
Wish I had thought of this 40 years ago.
“Yeh my 18th birthday is in 6 months but I want to buy my beer for my party today.”
LOL. Not a great analogy but might have tried it if I had thought of it.
This has been the law in Ohio for as long as I can remember. Agree or disagree with it, our SOS John Husted (R) is the one changing laws willy-nilly.
