| I don't know any 16 year old responsible enough to do this. Unless they're raised taking civics courses from K-12, then hell no. |

 I know 13 year olds that are responsible enough for this. Plus I think many 16 year olds would rise to the occasion. They want to be treated like adults and will do the necessary research to make an informed vote.

Liberals are very conflicted. |
