Throughout the history of our nation, the conditions for eligibility to vote has gone through a few changes. Right now, the age of 18 is considered the 'medium' between people who HAVE matured mentally and people who have NOT matured mentally. Because everyone is different to some degree, this is the best age, so far, that has been decided as mature enough to vote. If you think children younger than that should vote, bring it up with your representative and tell them you think 13 year olds should vote.
If you truly think 13 years of age should be old enough to vote, consider some of the teen idols we've seen and the popularity of said idols, then consider the number of voting adults compared to the number of teens that would vote simply because it's britney or kid rock.
