It would’ve been 1924. Apparently Georgia was the first state to allow 18-year olds to vote in 1943. A terrible idea, to be sure. Minimum age to vote should be the same for holding office in the U.S. House, 25. I’ll bet had that been the case, elections such as those in 1916, 1960 (absent fraud) and 1976 (for example) would’ve turned out differently.

I used to disagree with you cause I remembered how mad I was that I missed being able to vote in 2000 by a year. But I finally realized I’m over 30 now so how the hell does that matter ;d.

Now I’m fully in favor of raising the voting age, it’s way too easy to vote, they don’t let morons perform surgery so why let them choose the most powerful person on the planet.
