Since that California bill is trying to be passed, to give 14 year olds 1/4 vote and 16 year olds 1/2 vote... why stop there?

Apparently the Californian Senator thinks that the 14 yr old isn't quite mature enough to be taken seriously 100%. We could use this approach for all ages - the older you are, more your vote counts.

So instead of 1 vote and partial votes - everyone gets a vote weight based on their age.

So the 21 yr old gets 21 votes. The 65 yr old gets 65 votes.

Terrible idea. I've always thought their needs to be an exam over the candidates before you get to vote. Many people just "vote for the sake of voting", even when they know nothing past the commercials they have seen on TV.
