The average 16 year old doesn’t have a high school diploma.
The average 16 year old hasn’t had a job these days.
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.
