I feel like there would be quite the pushback from a certain group of individuals.
@JCreazy Likely the same individuals that would prefer there be fewer voters in general.
@alyaza
Their trying to INDOCTORATE our kids to the left at an even earlier age!!1!1!!
I mean, if the young adults that can currently vote actually did, that might make a difference too
That is true, so many of my peers don't vote.
The same group of people who find child labour and forcing a child to go through pregnancy completely acceptable?
