let's have 4 year old voting.
Total hyperbole -- even so, I'll bite. Would it really be that bad? A 4-year-old that actually wants to vote is not someone I would underestimate, and it's possible that getting people involved in the political process sooner would make them care a little more and net us a smarter electorate in the end. It's true that kids are more vulnerable to suggestion and aggressive marketing, but that sort of drawback sticks with a significant fraction of the population into adulthood. If children were informed about their rights as voters, I don't see how it would hurt our nation.
