Thought the age to vote in federal elections was established by the federal government !
Nope.......................
“Thought the age to vote in federal elections was established by the federal government!”
26th Amendment to the Constitution (Ratified in 1971)
“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.”
Unfortunately it doesn’t say lower ages could also be given the right to vote. As if DC really needs more unwise D voters.
You’re right, which is why I don’t believe the story.
