I was in a US history class in high school when the teacher said that the drinking age used to be 18, and the voting age used to be 21, but they switched places. He then asked "Why?" And started calling on random students.
When I got picked, my answer was "Fewer drunk voters?"
But more uneducated voters
Education isn't a requirement to vote, so doesn't make sense to play a part in age restricting voting. A now-30 year old who dropped out of high school at a young age is allowed to vote.
