If the state wants to lower the age, then the woding would need to change.

Figure reference would be made to reference 15 ear old and above not being able to be challenged based on age.

18 is the standard now based on the 18 year peg in there.

Not true. The wording is negative, not positive. It stops a state from banning 18 or older. It doesn't ban a state from allowing younger that 18. I read law all day long. You need to be careful seeing stuff that isn't there. This amendment does not set a minimum age if a state wants to go lower than 18.

I’m not really too upset about this. But shouldn’t there be more consistency in relation to “youths”? If they need to be coddled on their parents health insurance policy until they are 26 years old how can they be trusted to make such an important decision as voting for the person to run the country?

Just sayin’.
