It is my opinion that 17 year olds should not be able to vote. I understand it works the same for either party etc. Why not make it 16 years of age then, what difference does it make. They have a drivers license and I'm guessing they have to declare their political preference at that age as well. Laws of adult age for drinking, per say, have been established for a reason and it's based on when we think a child has to potential to make the right decision.
I believe the age for voting was originally established for the same reason.
Can you imagine a child lawfully drinking at 17. The establishments, in my opinion have overstepped their obligation to do the will of the people. That' why this voting question, I believe, like the drinking age should be put before the people to decide whether or not a child should be able to vote in the Presidential Primary.
