I believe that making voting legally required by everyone over 18 is a bad idea because of the immaturity of some voters.

The reasons why many Americans do not vote America is a free country‚ and voting is an important part of that freedom. Unlike other countries where dictators and monarchs make decisions on behalf of the people‚ Americans get the right to decide who runs the country and what laws should govern citizens.

According to an article by The New Republic‚ 53 percent of 18-29 year-olds visited the polls in 1972. By the year 2000‚ that figure had dropped to 35 percent‚ which became a new historical low.
