Just like 16 years old people can't vote because too young, 80+ years old people should not be able to vote, most of them are too distant from everyday reality of younger people to be able to take a wise decision for the community and also often stick with (way too) old ideals from their years

So we should allow teenagers and prisioners to vote then, we already have a ton of out groups.

    Absolutely. If a teenager takes enough of an interest to go vote, let them.

    As for the prison population, as long as losing the right to vote is not par of the sentence, I have no problem with that either. For most people there's an expectation of getting back into society at some point, so why not let them have a say in it?
