These days? 16 year olds “these days” have jobs just like they did in “those days,” and having a high school diploma or a job shouldn’t have anything to do with a person’s ability to vote.

I’d also say there are more people over 16 who are far less qualified emotionally to vote than 16 year olds who want to vote.
