I actually don’t think most of our society is qualified to vote.
Voter rights should be determined by whether or not you know anything about what you’re voting for, not based on your age. People should have to pass a test every year.
The problem with this line of thinking is who would set the standard for the test? The current controlling power would skew things so only their supporters are now qualified to vote. In order to have a free and fair election every citizen needs the right to vote, otherwise we might as well just go back to the days that only white male landowners get to vote.
