- Yo bro what is going on? Have you heard of what has been going on in the news. They are thinking of changing the voting age to 16 instead of 18. Isn't that crazy!!! I am not sure what this will lead to in the future.
- Wow! I did not know that they are changing the rules, this is new to me. There is many things that can happen if we change the voting age.
- You reallythink something bad would happen?I think lowering the voter age is an amazing idea and it allows the younger peoples voice to be heard.
- There are so many cons for them lowering the age for voting.... Most these kids know nothing about politics and could vote for the wrong candidate. I think it is a terrible idea.
- Critics of giving citizens under 18 the right to vote argue that such teenagers lack the ability and motivation to participate effectively in elections. If this argument is true, lowering the voting age would have negative consequences for the quality of democracy.
- MAN! Do you not want to be heard??? We would be allowed to vote next year if this rule happens.
- 10% of a teen’s decisions come from their home environment. Children at the age of 16 are still influenced by their parent’s behaviors, standards, and perspectives. Kids pattern their belief structures, from spirituality to politics, on the ideas they see and hear at home. That means the votes of these young teens would likely duplicate the ballots of their parents. Although that would be their right, it does cause one to question whether that would be an authentic vote or one that is manipulated.
- Maybe that is true, but if they allow us to vote we can get more into politics. I think this is an amazing idea.
- I think lowering the voting age would allow teens to behave more risky.Teens already take more risks than adults. They have higher smoking rates, higher texting while driving rates, and practice safe-sex less often. Teens at the age of 16 are going through physical changes, including brain development, which creates emotional instabilities that lead to rebellion. Giving them the right to vote in these circumstances could be helpful for some teens, but it may also be destructive for others. There will be teens who vote a specific way because they know it will spite their parents.
- Maybe man, I think you are overthinking this whole idea. Voting would be so much fun!
- I have to go inside, do you have anymore to say. It was a good talk.
- The Supreme Court ruled in 1970 that Congress could lower the federal voting age, but it did not have the power to set the voting age for local or state elections. That’s why the 26th Amendment was proposed in the first place. The Amendment was ratified in just four months, which was the shortest period of any in history. By giving 18-year-olds the right to vote, it shifted the views of society and arguably changed many elections at the local level because of a shift in demographics. Lowering the voting age to 16 would do the same.
