allow any citizen to vote regardless of age.

Created by R.M. on November 17, 2015

If a person is born or made an American citizen, why should it matter what their age is. There are millions of people over the age of 18 that are uneducated voters, and undoubtedly millions of youths that can be educated voters. Where many age restrictions make sense (alcohol, firearms purchase, etc.) this does not. If one was to argue that "kids are immature and won't know what they are voting for", they should know that there are adults that are the same way.
