Studies show that felon voting contributes to lower crime rate. Studies also show that racial discrimination is a leading cause of felony disenfranchisement. According to Democracy’s Ghost – a show that focuses

Lowering the Voting Age Do you wish that we would get a teen’s input on world events sometimes? What about getting them to vote? It’s their world too‚ shouldn’t they get to show what they want for our country? I mean they are still getting educated at school about world events. I believe that they should lower the voting age to 13. First of all‚ most of the teens in school are mature enough to truthfully vote who should be president. Evidence shows that when you vote at a younger age you are

Voting vs. Not Voting Everyday individuals complain about how society is getting worse and blame everybody else for America’s downfall. Most of the things that people complain about are issues that can be easily solved because they can gain control over the situation‚ yet they sit back and do nothing to help.

Persuasive Essay – Why the Voting Age Should Be 21 My persuasive essay topic is why the voting age should be raised to 25 instead of 18. Some people think it should be lowered.
