i was lurking around freerepublic earlier and saw this story about how hard it is for college studentsto register to vote and among the usuall "conservative" responces like i dont want college students voting and voting should be restricted i came across this little gem by a "conservative" legal scholar that is going to vote this election see if you can figure out whats wrong with this statement

To: 2ndDivisionVet Good! I’ve been thinking lately that the voting age should be raised to 30 anyway. 18 made sense back when 18-year-olds had already been productive citizens for a few years.

The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 in 1971.

Where was it set to 21 in the Constitution?

States used to set their own voting regulations. That's how a Republic worked before the Feds took it over.

I mis-spoke. The 26th just made the voting age uniform for all states.
