ABSOLUTELY NOT! In fact, they should actually RAISE the voting age from 18 to 25. What the hell does an 18 year old teenager either still in high school or fresh out of high school know about who's the most qualified to run the country. I would feel MUCH better knowing that the people voting for the leaders in this country were actually adults with some life experience.

No, most 16-year-olds don't even keep track of current events. The voting age was 21 when I was young, then lowered to 18 due to the Vietnam War. An 18-year-old facing the draft of self or loved-ones is going to be a lot more careful of how he or she votes. A 16-year-old is usually into popularity contests, goofing off, etc. (No, not all--but many are quite immature).

No. I am not sure we should even allow driving at age 16.

Hell NO.
18 year olds have shown themselves to be stupid enough without allowing 16-year olds.
Don't even think about it.

no because a 16 year old cannot even drive a car without having a cell phone stuck in their ear.

No. Most teenagers probably don't have enough political knowledge to vote accordingly.

of course not, 16 year olds these days are worse than ever at making decisions.

Yes, but all potential voters should have to take a basic test. Question one should be "What is your State's capital?"

No, I don't think so, some things that 23 year olds say is really misinformed.

Too young. You have to draw the line somewhere.
