Sounds good to me as long as we have a test-qualified vote authorization. If you can't read English, are ignorant of US history and don't know or understand Civics then you are not qualified to vote. If you can't pass the ethics section of the test and are unfamiliar with the candidates and their positions then you aren't qualified to vote. If you are a US citizen and you can pass such an exam then by all means vote, even if you are ten years old.

Of course there will have to be adjustments to matters of law such as the shield of minority, which protects children from being saddled with debt from purchases of unnecessary goods. After all, if they can vote they can't be children or need protection and support from their parents. Gonna be a lot of sophomores trolling the streets asking "Buddy can you spare a dime." By the way, kids should be allowed to conceal carry in schools as well, wouldn't want to deprive them of the right to defend themselves since we adults have done such a poor job of it.

It seems that the Left is becoming more and more determinated to allow 16 year olds to vote. I have some trouble with that because we don't really have a situation like we had in the 60s when the left was begging to allow 18 year olds to vote because they were being drafted to fight in Viet Nam. They got the vote for 18 year olds and found that they would vote largely for Democrats. Now lefties are thinking that those kids who haven't studied American History or Government and sure as hell not the Constitution are being pushed around by not being allowed to vote. I remember so well in the early 50s when I was studying Communism and what Communists were saying in colleges about what they called "fellow travelers" how amazed I was when I found this out. Here we have all these left leaning Democrats trying to get the vote for 16s and 17s. The Left is basing shootings at schools as their excuse to allow those kids who just have to serve as target practice of weirdoes with guns.

I just can't give in to adding two more age groups to our voting population. My reasoning for this is based on high school students walking out of schools because it was the 19th birthday of Columbine. I still think that the shooting in Florida and other schools were caused by Lefties wanting to use them like they did Columbine.

I enlisted in 1954 at the age of seventeen. At twenty I was honorably discharged, could not vote or buy a drink. Of the two, drinking was something I did on a regular basis, while in the Army, starting at age seventeen. Voting, took a lot more thought but even at that age I distrusted both parties and registered Independent. I have had no reason to change that classification no matter who I voted for or most often, against. It takes a level of maturity and interest in politics that comes only with age and experience, to make rational selections, and eighteen year olds do not have either.

Being a soldier requires good physical condition, which is what most eighteen year olds had in abundance. They didn't need to think, just follow orders. It is too bad that some end up in combat but this is what we were told was necessary to protect our homes and families.

The fact that you served honorably and put your life on the line speaks well of your character and maturity. I would be in favor of allowing soldiers and veterans to vote at less than age twenty one but the rest can wait. Because some eighteen year olds make a great personal sacrifice is not a reason to reward all.
