California Ballot Measures on Voting Eligibility: One Passes, One Doesn’t

California had two statewide ballot measures on the ballot this month that relate to voter eligibility. Proposition 17 passed. It lets individuals on parole register to vote, and passed with 59%. Proposition 18 failed. It would have let individuals who will be age 18 at the time of the general election also register and vote in the preceding primary. In presidential years there is eight months between the primary and the general election, so if it had passed, in presidential years over half of all 17-year-olds would have been able to vote in primaries.

Here are the election returns. They are not complete but the margins for those two measures are so overwhelming, it is possible to predict the outcome.

  1. @Andy yeah because the people that literally have their entire lives ahead of them shouldn’t have any say whatsoever. And the people that will be dead before the next mid-term election should…. makes a lot of fucking sense.

  2. @aiden, 18 is the age of adult. You get greater consequences at that age. Rights and responsibilities. It’s symbiotic. But throw in the emotional tirade then your reasoning now makes sense.

  3. If we were to continue to have elections, which we won’t, the first step would be to limit voting to 21 and up property owning men again. Secondly, poll taxes and literacy tests should be reconstituted. Thirdly, grandfather clauses to the 7th generation. Your father, and his father, to 7 generations, must have been voters of your county of residence or you don’t get a vote. All good steps but we’re going to do one better and end voting completely. Democracy is truly the god that failed and TRUMP is the GOD who succeeds and always will as our global EMPEROR FOREVER.

  4. How much good 7th generation NAZI booze / other drugs does the BAN resident troll moron consume just before posting his monarch NONSENSE troll posts ???
