BREAKING : Soros-Backed Democrats Push to Lower Voting Age to 17-Year-Old

Breaking News By Amy Moreno March 10, 2017

Desperate Democrats are trying to pick up votes anywhere they can.

Now, a George Soros-backed push to change the voting age to 17-years-old is picking up steam in Californa.

Sorry Democrats, we have enough low-info idiots voting, we don’t need to add more to the fray.

From Washington Times

In California, Democratic legislators introduced this week a landmark bill, ACA 10, that would give the Golden State the nation’s youngest statewide voting age by lowering the threshold from 18 to 17 in the name of reversing the slide in voter turnout.

“Young people are our future,” said Democratic Assembly member Evan Low, the measure’s sponsor. “Lowering the voting age will help give them a voice in the democratic process and instill a lifelong habit of voting.”

The proposal comes as the most ambitious of a host of efforts to chip away at the 18-year-old voting age as Democrats seek to bring into the fold younger voters, who traditionally support more liberal causes and candidates than do their elders.

Mr. Soros is on board: His Open Society Foundations is among the left-wing philanthropies backing FairVote, which has pushed to allow 17-year-olds who will turn 18 before the general election to vote in presidential primaries and caucuses, a policy now on the books in 21 states and the District of Columbia.

Also gaining popularity is preregistration. Twenty states and the District of Columbia allow certain minors, ranging in age from 16 to 17 years and 10 months, to register to vote before turning 18, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla appeared Thursday at John F. Kennedy High School in Los Angeles to announce the state’s online preregistration system for 16- and 17-year-olds, joined by the program director of YVote.

17 and 18 year old don’t think like adults at that age. But to democrats in office young people are our future,” Who are they trying to fool? It’s just another desperation to steal votes make red states blue and stay in office. Only when it suits their desperation to have more power, control and money. Democrats in office will go through great lengths to make more underhanded choices. Who are they fooling? Only the people that voted them into office.

They should raise the voting age..18 is too immature to vote as we all have seen..These kids are still living home with mommy and daddy, and aren’t working..Raise it to 21..Even that is questionable.but a little better.

Smart on California’s part because once Trump outs all the illegals voting in the state, some of those millions lost can be made up by 17 year old millennials.

Raise the voting age to 25 or 30 at that age someone has to be paying attention to politics and elections, making their own adult educated choice and not be mislead or indoctrinated.
