Old enough to fight old enough to drink a beer and vote, so went the USA in the 1970s with the 18 yr old vote in Nov 1972 and the Virginia age of 18 for beer on July 1st 1974
That's because of the Vietnam war draft. The draft ended in the summer of 1972 and Democrats pushed the states later in the 90's and oughts to raise the drinking age to 21 or else lose federal highway money
Since theres no longer a draft the age to vote should be 21 again, and if the draft ever resumes dropped to the draft age.
But Democrats are at it again with Dirty Tricks, DC is about to lower the voting age to 16 ! Letting minors vote. This is insane! Yes the proposal will allow votes for President as well
If DC was a reliable GOP presidential vote the always hypocritical Democrats would scream bloody murder, but its a Democrat strong hold and they will scream let the people vote. BS all the way with that for that.
As far as DC goes its a nowhere player in the presidential elections, But the whole Dirty Trick is to establish a precedent nationwide of course to help Democrats, the same as the Illegal entry Dirty Trick for votes for Democrats.
DC's home rule must end, no votes from DC at all , move to Virginia or Maryland or anywhere they want. No more Congressional non vote member .DC is the non vote US federal district and that's it under the constitution. The Congress must pass a 18 year old national vote requirement with ONLY US citizens allowed to vote
