A major American city may soon allow 16-year-olds to vote and others could follow suit

San Francisco residents will cast ballots in November to determine not just who should be in the White House but also whether 16- and 17-year-olds should be allowed to vote in local elections.

A similar measure introduced in 2016 narrowly failed, with 48 percent of the vote, but local activists and organizers are confident that it will pass this time.

As the parent of a 16 year old let me say this is *not* a good idea, even though I trust my 16 year old would not get off his phone long enough to vote. Maybe if they made voting a “like” button though.
