Nancy Pelosi is the latest to come out in favor of the 16 year old vote. To be more precise she said, "We need to capture them at age 16". I remember when the minimum age was 21. But when boys started dying in Viet Nam we lowered it. It's difficult to argue with the reasoning: If one could die for their country at 18 they should be able to vote. It covered females under 21, also. Hmmm!
Even so, the Democrats will have a difficult time getting kids to the polls if a new bill becomes law. All one has to do is look at the 18-21 year old vote today. About 30% of those kiddies go to the polls on election day.
I'll offer a suggestion to the Left on how to induce kids between 16 and 18 to vote. Offer them Tide Pods. It's a winner.
