I don’t want the voices of dumbass 17 year olds, who has no business voting, when the US Constitution clearly states the minimum is 18.

More democRAT ballot box stuffing.

Giving the 18years old the vote was idiotic!

It was done because 18years old were being drafted!

They should have raised the draft age to 20 instead!

It doesn’t say 18 is minimum, it says:

SECTION 1

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

It leaves open the possibility of a state to allow 18 month olds.

Look, democrats already heavily rely on the high school dropout vote in most major cities. It’s only a natural evolution that once you seek to include the most stupid, you’d look next toward including the clueless and then the nearly clueless.
