No matter what age you choose, it is arbitrary. I think it would be more important to improve the voting turnout of those already eligible, rather than lowering the age to make more people eligible.
On the upper end, I am not sure what would be disqualifying. Is there really a problem of incapacitated old-timers getting shipped in to vote for something the don't understand? I can't see that as a major problem, anymore than the "voter fraud" the right is constantly bitching about.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
