Teens, Democrats continue push to lower voting age to 16
Fox News
The Democrat-led movement to lower the voting age to 16 is gaining momentum as teenagers seek local victories while winning the support of some in the media.
Specifically, 16- and 17-year-olds can now vote in the southern Vermont town of Brattleboro. Young voters will be able not only to vote in local elections but also to serve on the community's selectboard if elected. They can also be representatives to the town's annual town meeting, where local issues are decided. Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Rep. Emilie Kornheiser, a Democrat from Brattleboro, said last week that getting more young people to vote will help keep them politically involved.
