(1) I think 17-year-olds
should be allowed
to vote ONLY
in school-board elections;
since they actually
KNOW a lot about schools,
thru experience.
(2) As for other offices --
Democrats should be
more worried about
TURNOUT
among voters between
18 and 30.....
California Republicans
often get elected
because young citizens
didn't
actually vote.
Attending rallies
ain't enough.
Surprise, surprise--
ya gotta
VOTE.
