Because 16 year old children are so responsible they're not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages, own firearms or have full driving privileges? They should lower the age to 8 because that's the mental state of Democrats.

Washington, DC, could let 16-year-olds vote for president

Associated Press•November 2, 2018

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington, D.C., City Council is preparing to vote on a bill to lower the voting age to 16 for all elections, both local and federal.

WTOP-FM reports the bill won 3-0 approval in the Judiciary and Public Safety committee Thursday and will get a final vote before the full council this month.

The 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens 18 and older the right to vote, but scholars have said it doesn't prevent a state, or in this case, the nation's capital, from setting a lower age.

Council member Charles Allen says his bill will "enfranchise the District's young people and bring their voices into the political process."
