Instead of putting this on a ballot and having the town decide the city council passed a vote to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote and also felons the right to vote.

That's blatant ageism right there! Why draw the line at 16? Why, many 12 year olds are fully competent and aware of complex political issues.

Used to live in Takoma Park (Tacky Park). Full of hippies, libs, tree huggers. The city once decided not to buy any thing from any company that had anything to do with Nuclear Weapons, found out they couldn't buy Jack point Shit. They couldn't even replace their police cars. What a bunch of limp wristed, grass eatin', pony tailed wearin' assholes.

It is not unconstitutional, it is for local town/city election. If it were for State office it must follow state election law. In Maryland, counties and incorporated cities/towns are creations of the state, the state is supreme.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It is a very liberal town so they will continue to vote the way they normally would. The issue at hand is when an area that is fairly evenly split politically have the leftist use this as a precedence to do the same it can dramatically change the landscape. It is even another avenue for voter fraud. Quote HistoryQuoted:
