    I agree. I wish the voting age was 16. (Or even younger, but 16 would be a big step in the right direction.)

    At 16, students could take half the day off to go vote. Hell, it should be a grade-level field trip. Research shows that those who vote in their first eligible election are likely to continue voting, and democracies are dying from a lack of political engagement.
