Go Skins Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/44236066-story WASHINGTON - When Americans go to the polls to vote in 2016, there's a chance that 16-year-olds in Washington, D.C. could also be casting their ballots. On Tuesday, three D.C. City Council members proposed lowering the federal voting age in D.C. from 18 to 16.Ward 6 Council member Charles Allan is the chief author behind the Youth Vote Amendment Act of 2015. He said Tuesday that there's nothing in the 26th Amendment that forbids younger Americans from voting, and that the Constitution only ensures that those 18 or older have the right to vote.

T-Dub Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 There's nothing in the Constitution saying I can't sell crack to children, either, but that would also be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people you get this stuff from are stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
