    So theres a debate about rather the voting age should be lowered to 16 or stay at 18‚ in my opinion it should stay at 18. Lowering the voting age would cause problems because younger voters would probaly be voting without a purpose. Voting is something very importart and should not be done just for fun. When I was 16 I didn’t take voting to serious. I really didn’t understand what it was about or what I was voting for. If I had legal rights to vote at 16 I would have probaly just did it for fun

    scheme for the republicans to gain more votes or to prevent voter fraud at the polls. After researching this topic my opinions is voting fraud is not a huge problem in the United States about 15 cases of voter fraud occurs each year.

    In my opinion I think the voting age should be lowered to age 16. The first example of why I think the voting age should be lowered to age 16 is because youths can be tried for crimes as adults and they can fight and die for their country like adults but yet they are still not allowed to vote. I think it’s highly unfair if you treat teenagers who are 16 years old like adults on some issues but not all is issues. If you treat 16 year olds like adults on one issue‚ why not all other issues.
