If you’re old enough to drive, you’re old enough to vote

Patricia Lane introduces us to student activist Nahira Gerster-Sim, 17, who is part of a campaign to give youth aged 16 and up the right to vote.

I personally think that if you are the age of majority during a representatives serving of office then you should get a vote in that office. Senators serve for 6 years you can be nearly 23 before you get to vote for one 22 and 11months and 30 days. That is over 5 years where you got no say in your representative. 3 years for president and 1 for Congress ( in the usa).
Drop that age to 16 please. Kids by then see whats up. Had I been able to have rights before I graduated HS I would have done a lot differently.

I started working at age 9 btw.
