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

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.

Are you saying you support 17 year olds voting?

I sure don’t.

If anything we need to tighten voting rights, not loosen them further.

Whose wording is this? Is this federal guidelines, or the state’s guidelines?
