People need to experience life's journey as an adult before they make voting decisions for the rest of us.
Agreed!
yes, I totally agree with you!

Got a better idea. Ever read Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers?
No right to vote without citizenship. No citizenship without serving at least 2 years in the military. Also don't get government benefits without being a citizen. Obviously no elected officials who aren't citizens. Everyone else is simply a civilian.
Heinlein envisioned a society where the citizens - the ones who'd proven they were responsible members of society - were the leadership. Not fresh-faced kids or welfare queens.
Old enough to fight in the military = old enough to vote IMO.
I have no issues with a voting age of 25. You must also pass a simple 5 question test on the Constitution. You must also show identification.
Hell, return it to property owners (those whom pay TAXES). Enough with the leeches being allowed to vote for more goodies on the backs of others (yeah, welfare’s still illegal/unconstitutional...just as much ‘lawful’ as the War on Drugs, gun control, fiat currency, SS, etc.)
I don’t mind them having to be landowners. (The equivalent of paying taxes)
And take the vote away from women! They’ve (as a whole, not those here including myself) ruined the world since they’ve been voting in socialism.
Voting age of 25, heck no. How unconstitutional!
(Raise it to 40.)
And pay either property or income tax
WHen this country started, only property owners could vote.
They were smart guys, those Founding Fathers.....................
