The opposite, in fact. While it's unfortunate that some people don't do a lot of research or think at all before they vote, it's their right. So when people would disqualify minors for reasons such as they are ignorant of politics or vote frivolously, they would also be disqualifying adults.
My complaint is with the double standard.

I've paid income taxes since I was 15 and sales tax since I was maybe 5. I didn't get to vote until I was 18.
