The Rats gotta increase the number of stupid, ignorant voters. That’s the only way they can survive.
And restricted to taxpayers only.
Gotta make up for the lost “undocumented, multi registered voters, mis-calibrated voting machine voters somehow /sarcasm.
It's somewhat the 19th, but mostly the 24th, and also to a lesser extent the 26th.
Most amendments after the first 10 were mistakes.
Oh, yes they do.
Democrats want children to vote, for the same reasons we don't want them to vote.
Democrats know these kids won't show up to vote. But that doesn't matter... what Democrats want is NAMES ON THE VOTER ROLES...
Democrat voter fraud is done by voting the people who don't show up to vote. The more names - the more 'votes'...
Sounds like more grant-seeking whores/er scientists at work...
“If 16 year olds are voting in the elections in DC, the entire vote for DC should be disqualified.”
The District of Columbia was created by the gift of land by the states of Virginia and Maryland to the federal government. In 1846 the federal government returned the land that now constitutes Arlington to Virginia while keeping the tract that was formerly in Maryland.
The best thing for the nation is for the federal government to give back to Maryland the land it donated. The federal government can hold onto the non residential land occupied by federal buildings and monuments, with the exception of the White House which should remain federal. Doing so will allow the residents of DC to be represented in Congress by the congress critters and Senators who represent Maryland so the argument that DC residents are not represented goes away. In addition, the federal government can stop subsidizing the DC government. The federal government lands remaining will interact with Maryland and local government the same way the federal government interacts with the state of Virginia and Arlington with respect to the parkland and federal buildings on the Virginia side of the Potomac (Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery, Fort Myer).
As to 16 year olds voting, the Constitution does not restrict states from allowing citizens younger than age 18 to vote. Unless a constitutional amendment is passed to set a minimum voting age, states are free to extend the voting franchise to any citizen and are free to permit non-citizens to vote in state and local elections.
The 26th Amendment does seem to restrict voting in federal elections to citizens. However, since the states administer the polling places, and determine if voter ID is required or not, it is nearly impossible for the federal government to enforce verification of citizenship at polling locations if the state chooses not to enforce voter laws. Some states allow voting by mail so it is not possible to even verify a registered voter (citizen or not) filled out the mail-in ballots. It is likely voting via the internet will some day be authorized by some states and localities.
communism & the UN
Both want children to have more rights than their parents.
Okay, we’re going to lower the age to vote to 16 because they are mature enough to make intelligent decisions, and raise the age to buy/own a gun to 21 because they’re too immature to make intelligent decisions. Makes perfect sense.
Amen!
That would include the 16th (re-implementation of slavery) and the 17th (elimination of state sovereignty) and the 14th (poorly interpreted by the courts).
He's on the outside looking in ...
