No problem! The Democrat machine already helps the senile & mentally feeble when they vote.
They could’t fight a war because they are too afraid of those evil guns.
Nothing but a bunch of snowflakes.
And require all three genders, or is it four?, to register, /sarc.
Not so!
If you really, really need to steal elections, this is a great idea.

The Dems in Michigan are admitting they’re in deep trouble when they propose lowering the voting age so the young “skulls full of mush” in the public schools they’ve brainwashed can vote for them. Illegal aliens and high school students are two constituent groups the Democrats hope will save their party nationally.
Voting age should be a variable number.
Not everyone matures at the same age, and not everyone learns about being responsible and holding down job and raising a family and buying a house and trying to keep as much of their money away from the big government bureaucrats.
Mostly, people don’t all have the same knowledge-base and life experiences and time to grow some wisdom.
Some might be able to vote at 21, others at 30 or more, and others might never qualify to vote.
Democrats want the uninformed and over-emotional to vote.. That is the only hope they have of winning anything.
Dems have zero power in Michigan for a reason.
I Agree!
It won’t go anywhere:
MI has a republican President of the United States.
MI has a republican, conservative Supreme Court.
MI has a republican Governor.
MI has a republican Lieutenant Governor.
MI has a republican State Senate.
MI has a republican House of Representatives.
MI has a republican Attorney General.
MI has a republican Secretary of State.
MI has a republican congressional margin by a 2:1 ratio.
There is NO state democrat that is elected statewide. NONE.
Its a start.
Excellent point.
Too easy to screw over valid voters. I get the sentiment though.
Nope, stupid idea.
This should never be allowed. 16 year olds are not mature and have no skin in the game. They are still in school and do npt pay taxes or know how the way they vote can affect their future.
How soon before all states would be forced to honor this nonsense?
Maybe 12 then.
Democrats have a wet dream of NEA public school teachers shepherding their classes to the polls to vote Democrat.
of course they do because they want all the low information emotionally inept voters they can find
You don't have to be a veteran to vote, you have to have completed Federal Service. From the Starship Troopers wiki:
Citizens are people who joined the Federal Service and were honorably discharged and given franchise. Joining the Federal Service does not necessarily mean the military, and applicants may be assigned to any field where they sacrifice their time and effort for the Federation (Teaching, any of the civil services, experimental test subjects, etc), though military service is the most glorified. It all falls under Federal Service.
The Tide Pod vote?
I think it should be raised to 25, the average age that the human brain is finally fully developed.
