Has nothing to do with race or gender. But what happens is that we have half the country who votes based on who the bigger Santa Claus is that will give them free stuff. With not a care in the world about the future consequences to this country. And if anything, the voting age should be increased, not decreased. Most people under 25 or even 30 don't know anything about politics. College age kids are voting based on the brainwashing their getting from their professors. Why is an 18 year old canceling out a vote when they may barely pay taxes, probably still living with parents, where political issues don't apply to them?</blockquote>
