"When it comes down to it, lowering the voting age is sort of a tricky issue because you have kids who aren’t put in the political environments they need to be exposed to to formulate their own opinions.They’re not put in [situations] where free speech is a matter of concern or tax is a matter of concern. So instead of formulating opinions based on their own experience, they turn to social media or the authority figures in their life."
