in the news

I think its rediculouse to allow kids that young to vote. They are way to young to even be worrieng about that. There is nop point of the "mock elections".
Most of the children between 8-13 dont even have a clue of wha they are talking about when it comes to politics. They base there ideas from there parents or even the television. If there parents tell them one thing and are always talking about a certain candidate then thats what they will follow as well. Just as if a child that watches television all day, sees nothing but messages of a candidate then they will want to follow that candidate.
