WASHINGTON
(Excerpt) Read more at nbcnews.com ...
There is no bottom to the depths of depravity the anti-American left will go to gain, regain, or maintain power.
Senators picked by popular vote
Illegals/non-ID voters
Lowering the voting age to 18 (the adage ...socialism..no heart, ...capitalism...no sense)
Lowering the voting age to 16 (complete blithering but malleable ignorance)
SHTF...?

Just what they need in DC - more idiots on the voting rolls. The same place that reelected Marion Barry as mayor after he served time in federal prison for cocaine and put up a statue of the Clown Prince.
Incorrect. The Twenty-sixth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the states and the federal government from using age as a reason for denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States who are at least eighteen years old.
It doesn't say anything about permitting the right to vote to United States citizens who are younger than eighteen.
That was Timothy Leary’s ‘warning’.
He’s dead...................
I wanted to vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980. Had enough of Jimmy Carter and Iranian crisis etc.
I was listening to Bob Grant and Barry Farber.
Of course it’s not a good idea. These kids have been fed the same crap the Hitler youth and Chinese Red guard and Stalinists were fed to overthrow their societies. Of course it’s not a good idea.

We’re talking about DC here. 3 whole electoral votes. 3 whole electoral votes that always go (D) anyway. A city that is so one-sided that the Democratic primary for mayor and city council seats are considered the only competitive campaign....not even sure if they hold a general election in the District (j/k).
While I, too, question the wisdom of allowing 16 year olds to vote, in this case it won’t change anything.
Go back to 21...better idea.
Kinda reminds of The Hogg a little.
Got to get the payoff from the progressive indoctrination don’t you know....
If DC does it, soon the Left Coast, Cali-Oregon- Washington and New York - New England corridor will as well....................

And if they can vote, they can serve in the military.
Draft the little snowflakes and send them to Syria.
This won’t affect the electoral vote, but could give the Democrats more popular votes - enough to make results like the last presidential election’s more common. That could mean trouble - more bitterness over election results.
“But advocates say the main reason to expand the vote is non-partisan.”
hahahahahahahaha...
FakeNewsMSM, however, will push this idea to the limit.
the youth are being groomed for such an eventuality:
10 Apr: WNPR Public Radio Connecticut: How The New England Aquarium Seeks To Urge Visitors To Act On Climate Change
By Benjamin Swasey. WBUR’s Bob Shaffer contributed reporting.
Meanwhile, inside the New England Aquarium (NEAQ) itself, climate change is a central aspect of the programming. In recent years, the aquarium has increased its focus on climate change education, using research-tested language to speak directly about the issue. And it urges visitors to take up the cause of emissions reductions.
The focus was evident on a recent weekday morning, as children and their parents ringed the top of the NEAQ’s giant ocean tank. They gathered to hear a talk from Lindsay Jordan, a senior visitor education specialist…
“The good news is, we know exactly what’s causing this,” Jordan told visitors. “It’s things and choices we make every single day. Most of the energy that we consume in this country is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal and oil and gas.”
Burning fuels creates carbon dioxide, which creates, she put it, “a blanket that traps our Earth’s heat.” Jordan said it’s a “simple mechanism” with the simple solution of limiting the burning of fossil fuels...
Then Jordan pushed the message more explicitly, encouraging those in attendance to seek out community-wide efforts at fossil fuel reduction and to “use your power as citizens to vote for people and for policies that support renewable energy.”...
The NEAQ’s climate education efforts stretch back about a decade, when it joined with fellow institutions — like zoos and museums — to form a network of informal science educators.
Boosted by millions in federal grant money, the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI) is now working in 170 institutions in 38 states (and developing a more diversified funding model)...
But Spitzer and Jordan point to survey data, from 2010, showing that museums, zoos and aquariums are among the most trusted sources of information about global warming. And Spitzer says about 60 percent of the U.S. population attends museums, zoos and aquariums.
“We look at it and say, ‘Hey, if we can influence 60 percent of the population, that’s pretty darn good,’” he said…
Several mothers at the aquarium with their kids that day said the inclusion of the climate change messaging was a pleasant surprise, but they admitted it’s a second-tier issue for them, as voters and citizens.

Article I, section 8: "Congress shall have the power...To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States..."
The existence of a "DC council" which does anything except advise Congress regarding Congress' EXCLUSIVE authority to legislate IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER over DC is unconstitutional.
So the Democrats will now win DC by 110%.
Sheer lunacy. We should go back to the colonial days where only property owners voted. No one on welfare should have the right to vote.
If 16 year olds are voting in the elections in DC, the entire vote for DC should be disqualified.
