Effects Of Lowering The Voting Age

I think that lowering the voting age would be a great idea. Most Americans are teens under the age of 18, with the ability to get out and vote. One real problem is not all of our elders can get out and vote. Being that some are too sick and immobile. So that leaves our teens to have to make up for those numbers. Another problem is turnout. America currently ranks at the bottom of the list of voter turnout. Lowering the age to 16 can help improve that ranking. I think by decreasing the age to 16, American voting will be more balanced with respect to age. By lowering the age to 16 there will be more votes. The teachers will be able to accomadate the students to the voting poles. Parents will also be able to bring them. To
sum it all up teens have more ability to get out and vote then elders. At a crucial time in American politics, right now is the time to lower the voting age. Being that many countries have already lowered the voting age, I think this would be even beneficial to our country.
