[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eye-roll. This is such a boomer solution in search of a problem.

I remember eagerly registering to vote when I turned 18. I voted in the 2006 general election - I was still in high school. I was the ONLY person in high school that voted, as far as I knew. People thought I was such a dork for getting all excited about it. I was in AP American History (got a 5 on the exam) and very eager to see the Democrats crush it and, two years later, see W gone and Obama elected.

Most young people don't vote. College students included - it was complicated enough to register to vote if you went to school in another state. I remember having to register at my dorm address. Or vote absentee from your home state. Both involve paperwork and deadlines which, IMO, are self-sorting. Those who are competent enough to figure out how to vote, should be voting. If you are too lazy or dumb to figure it out, then it's probably for the best that you didn't. [/quote]

Young voters have been showing up for the last few elections. That’s why they’re pushing to raise the voting age.

I also voted in high school. The other 18 year olds voted too. I was in a graduating class of 5, so I was aware of their ages and habits. [/quote]
