Vote or Die

without comments

Voting and Voters contemplates whether or not the U.S. teenager is ready to cast a vote at age 16. Several European nations allow teens to vote in certain elections – local instead of national – when they turn 16.Imagine this:

It is a nippy November Tuesday and your 16-year-old has her day all planned out. After school, she’ll have a rehearsal of her high school musical, “High School Musical.” She’ll instant-message her friends about that ridiculous question on the trig test, and she’ll drive to the mall for a burger with her boyfriend.

Then she’ll head to the polls, where she’ll cast a vote on a bond issue for a new prison, a referendum on property taxes, and the races for governor, senator and president of the United States.

What do you think? Vote here!
