Voting is a complex subject.
At first, I'm sure minors would be voting on peer pressure. The original argument that women would vote like their husbands so there's no need for them to vote held true the first few elections they voted. But eventually, politicians have to cater to every constituency they can reach. They'd have to interview, focus group, and invite into campaigns, the newly enfranchised minors. And that would mean that minors would be voting directly on minor issues and would start to vote in their own patterns. 60 years ago, American Blacks overwhelmingly voted Republican. Now they overwhelmingly vote Democratic. What happened? Democrats found ways to obtain (and then lock in) the Black voting bloc. |
