LETTER: Young voters face double standard

The writer of the letter ‘ Teens not mature enough to vote ’ said that “When they (teens) have accepted responsibilities for their actions, their education, their careers, their families, their debt and tax obligations and their responsibilities to the broader community, then they have earned to right to vote.”

The writer of the letter ‘Teens not mature enough to vote’ said that “When they (teens) have accepted responsibilities for their actions, their education, their careers, their families, their debt and tax obligations and their responsibilities to the broader community, then they have earned to right to vote.”

If we applied that same standard to people over 18, would anyone be eligible to vote?
