Majority of House Democrats Vote to Let 16-Year-Olds Vote for President

A majority of House Democrats on Wednesday voted to lower the federal voting age from 18 to 16.

A number of high-profile Democrats voted in favor of the legislation, including California Reps. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Maxine Waters, and Ted Lieu; Democrat presidential candidate and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard; New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib; and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Democrat Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduced the legislation Tuesday evening as an amendment to House Democrats’ For the People Act, (HR-1), which would 'overhaul' federal election laws.

Pressley’s amendment fell short at 126-305, but House Democrats voted 125-108 in favor of Pressley’s amendment, with two members voting present and three members not voting.

House Republicans voted against the amendment 197-1. Texas Rep. Michael Burgess was the only Republican to vote aye.

Pressley cited teen activists pushing for gun control as a reason to give 16-year-olds the right to vote, which she compared to having a driver’s license.

Democ-Rats must be really hurting for votes. They know 16 year olds are easier to be Brainwashed and Manipulated by MSM and Common Core Socialists.
Stop the Maddness, Wake Up Sheeple!

They should not vote since they have been indoctrinated and do not know all the facts. They can't even own a firearm.

There's seemingly no bottom to the Dems' barrel of stupid.

They're going for the young, unformed minds, who they'll poison with promises that will never be kept, fake news, faux outrage, free stuff and pats on the head by the Mommy State.

They hardly know how to wipe their butt at 16, much less make an intelligent, informed choice to vote at that age.

Grasping idiots hoping to persuade younger idiots.

Too young to drive (many states), drink, marry, sign a contract, buy cigarettes, buy a gun, enlist in the military, obtain credit, rent a car, go to the mall without a parent, see some movies, or date their daughter, as examples.

But the Deathocrats think they're mature and seasoned enough to...vote for one of their clown car socialist candidates?

Wish the D-rats would put forth bills that are logical and beneficial to the entire country. Not this non-sense. They are embarrassing our nation to the world!
