Bill seeks to lower DC voting age to 16

WASHINGTON - A bill has been proposed to lower the voting age in the District of Columbia to 16 years old.

D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) introduced The Youth Vote Amendment Act of 2018 on Tuesday. The measure would allow a D.C. resident to register to vote on local District races in addition to the presidential election starting on their 16th birthday.

Currently, D.C. residents must be at least 18 years old by the next general election in order to vote.

The good thing is that the kids that would vote come from two parent families who have skin in the game and would vote Republican.

Try them as adults at 16. Don't let them vote and not have all the responsibility of changing public policy to suit just one portion of the agenda.

Last month DC clowns were saying that kids under 21 were to unsafe and there brain was not fully developed to make a good decision so they wanted to raise the age of gun ownership to 21. Now something as important as a vote to shape the country is going to go to 16 year olds? We need a full on civil war, we need to go to DC and kill them all. Talk about stupid idiots, this takes the cake!
