We should lower voting age to 17. People with small chance of even being here in 30 yrs shouldn't dominate decisions that affect those who will then be in their prime. Kids in high school are more at risk, have more at stake, and should have more power in determining the future.

I missed out on the 2008 election by 6 days, not that it really would have mattered in NY

I disagree. A person's politics changes as you mature.

It should be 16, we give them the power to drive at that age. Why not give them ability to vote. They could register to vote the same time they receive their drivers license.

Yeah let’s let people taking the tide pod challenge vote...Genius

Why should 17 year olds be able to influence decisions that affect those who are in their prime now? Their lives 30 years from now aren’t any more important today than the lives of those who won’t be here in 30 years. That’s some evil thinking.

You don't know many 17 yr olds, do you?

Here, hear! I'd vote for that!

You’re mental. Kids are easily swayed and deceived.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Absolutely agree and have been saying this for years. It makes no sense that our policies for the future are being determined by those who won’t even be there when it comes.
