Default Raise the voting age!

Neuroscientists now claim that the human brain is not

With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than
obedience, should yield better outcomes.


How about a test of competence to vote rather than universal suffrage?
Some people may pass it at age 10 - others never.
