I wish we could test for cognitive ability for voting access over 70.
The german satire party DIE PARTEI wanted to implement a highest voting age. If you can't vote the first 18 years of your life, you shouldn't be able to vote the final 18 years.
I seriously hoped it would have been implemented The older folks seem to ruin germany more the older they get
How to determine when the last 18 start, though?
At 19. You vote at 18 or not at all. Let's see just how chaotic we can make this world.
Well insurance companies have all the models necessary for that. It's actually called actuary and it's a field of mathematics.

I've been saying the same thing for years. We should revoke voting status 18y from whatever the national average lifespan. That'll never happen, though.

Hasnt all the american presidents in the last years been over 70?
