Earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) repeatedly stated her support for lowering the federal voting age to 16.
““When kids are in high school is really a prime time for them to be aware of civics.

….just the large States – the Cities would end up running the Country. Smaller States & the entire Midwest would end up losing all power – & we can’t let that happen. I used to like the idea of the Popular Vote, but now realize the Electoral College is far better for the U.S.A.
