re: Michigan Democrats propose lowering voting age to 16

I could see pre-registering 17 year olds who will be 18 by election day.

that’s what i did many years ago.

i turned 18 only a couple weeks before election day.
pre-registered early that year so i’d be able to vote in presidential election that year.

if i’d waited until my birthday, the waiting period after registration would have prevented me from being able to vote.
