But by that logic, there's a terrifying number of adults who also shouldn't vote.
How so? An adult has a fully-functioning brain, unlike a 16-year-old.
Anyone above 65 for example.
Even dementia patients still have right to vote.
And we keep that in check how? I ask because I've never seen it done successfully and sustainably - even well intentioned autocracies lead to terrible outcomes in pretty short order.
