I think allowing 16yo students to participate in Municipal/school board elections is a great dip into the political pool to help them develop their own opinions & learn the importance of voting. HOWEVER, at 16, my maturity level was in NO STATE to vote in any other election.

After working with HS students...most of them need some more time to discover themselves, their stances, & the truth of both parties. MANY of them would support “whoever mom and dad voted for cause idgaf” (I polled my students once)

If you support lowering the voting age to 16 then we must- Lower handgun purchases to age 16. Require registration for the draft at age 16. Charge criminal offenders as an adult at age 16.
