The same people who thought sending them to war was a good idea.

And just to be clear.....I don't think that either are appropriate.

There are a lot of 18 year olds perfectly responsible enough to make good decisions. There are plenty of idiots in every age group that couldn't tell you anything about local, state, or national government that get to vote.

This is why voting should require the successful completion of a simple test rather than age

Yep, and a net payer into the system. If you pay no federal income taxes, SS, or Medicare tax, yet receive EIC or other transfer payments, you shouldn't get to vote...

In Scotland, they are thinking of lowering the age to 16. They actually think the young'uns with be interested to vote.

Completely agree. The way it is currently set up it is like teenagers telling their parents how to spend money.

Ok well then I guess old people need to re-take the test also.

Everyone should take the test in advance of every election.
