I've always been in favor of lowering the voting age. It's the teens future more than anyone, they should have a say.

The crux is, the youngins don't vote. Dunno why, it was always appealing to me. But most kids hate it.

As for making bad decisions, there are plently of people who vote for the dumbest reasons imaginable. It's common for people to vote without knowledge of platforms. There is little real discourse, only finger waving and slogans. And I'd wager two thirds of voters vote based on that.

A 16 year old could do no worse. And really, it's not like it's going change the candidates anyway. There's no such thing as a bad choice, as all the candidates already get votes ftom some people anyway.

In a perfect world it may help to subtlely change and round out party platforms to include younger voters. Which I don't believe to be a bad thing. But as I stated at the top, young voters barely show up so I doubt it would make any differencr on either side of the ballot box.

I am in favor of it though. Young voters, prove me wrong!
