Raise it to only those filing taxes as Head of Household or Joint. If a kiddie is still living with mommy and daddy they have no business voting.

2. Lower the voting age.
3. Profit!

...... This will make it easier for the Socialist Democrats to buy votes and appealing to the massive perpetual population of immature childish High School Sophomore's .... And guaranteeing them Free College Tuition, Guaranteed Jobs, Free Medical, Free Pot, Rainbow Dust and Unicorns ....

.... Probably at least 90% of them would have an orgasm thinking about all of that attractive Swag ....

"..... If you can vote you can be drafted"

.... Good Point ......... The GOP Should quickly draft a bill which would tie the Federal Voting Age .... to the acceptable age used for the United States Military Draft .... And Visa-Versa.

..... Heck .... If you are old enough to vote .... You are old enough to Fight for this country ....

Raise it to 21.

I think it should be 40 -- and property owners only.

.....

Twenty-one is good.

I’m more inclined to Net Tax Payers than only property owners. If you receive any largess from taxpayers then no vote for you.

Are they going to allow Purchase and Ownership of Firearms both Pistols and Long Guns at the same age ?

I’ll bet NOT.

If you vote, you will be called for jury duty.

If you're an Illegal, you then refuse jury duty.
