So if they lowered the voting age to 16, and then insisted on an exam to pass, wouldnt those who failed be able to claim that they were being discriminated against on the grounds of their stupidity. Couldnt they also ask for the exam to be extended to all voters in order to be fair.
Lets face it I know some over 18's who would fail that sort of exam. Stupidity doesnt just disappear on your 18th birthday.
