Subject: Authorizing Children to Vote in Federal Elections to Increase Democrat Political Power
Description: Pressley (D-MA) amendment to the "For the People Act" which is designed to boost the voting base of the Democratic party by lowering the federal voting age from 18 to 16. ACU recognizes that countless studies have shown brain development and maturity is not reached until an individual reaches their early 20s, hence multiple rights are age-restricted including military service (18) and tobacco and alcohol (21). ACU opposes this ploy by Democrats to prey on children who are not yet mature enough to comprehend the outcomes of their policies.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 125-302
