Every republic which has ever existed has engaged in electoral discrimination on the basis of age.  In the United States for the past several decades, this has taken the form of blocking minors up to age 18 from voting.  I propose reversing this entirely.  Why not prohibit adults from voting, and entrust only minors with this essential civic duty?  It is their future that is at risk, and such a regime should be family-friendly.  I have every confidence that it would lead to the best result possible: My daughter's 2nd grade class at Serra Catholic voted for McCain over Obama, 18 to 5.
