November 17, 2018Oooooooooooh boy. This will certainly lead to a bit of controversy.
The DC city council is considering lowering the voting age to 16. This would cover both local AND federal elections, meaning they could vote in the presidential election in 2020.
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.’
I hate to say this, but it really doesn’t matter HOW they vote. DC is so lib it’s ridiculous.
Oh. And then there’s this little tidbit.
More than 80% of them are identified as youth of color, WIJLA reported.
That most definitely has something to do with their desire to lower the age. They want to get them voting “D” young. Call me a cynic. I don’t care. It’s the truth. I know how these people operate. Their motives are no mystery to me.
Thoughts?
