There should be a maximum voting age
just like there is a minimum age. why should someone over 70 that doesnt contribute anything to society still be allowed to vote... especially about topics that wont affect them anymore.

No, but some sort of cognitive function test might make sense.

@MarmeeMarch It’s also a prime source of voter fraud. People with dementia or Alzheimer’s shouldn’t be voting. And their kids shouldn’t be voting for them either.
Of course in practical terms, doing this in a way that’s not open to abuse is going to be tough.

@MarmeeMarch The slipperiest of all slopes 😂
But I agree, a basic mental acuity and memory test should be part of the general health check that candidates take before running for president, etc.

@MarmeeMarch It's one of those "necessary but not sufficient" things. Gotta start somewhere.
