Soros Push to Lower Voting Age Gains Traction in Washington, D.C


George Soros and his Open Society Foundationsares among the left-wing philanthropies backing FairVote, which is in a major push to allow 16 and 17-year-olds who will turn 18 before the general election to vote in presidential primaries and caucuses. This policy is now on the books in twenty-one states – even in the District of Columbia.

By the 2020 presidential election, 16 and 17-year-olds may be able to vote in the nation’s capital.

Washington, D.C. may lower the voting age for federal and local elections to 16. The legislation was introduced last Tuesday by D.C. council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6), who said he was inspired by the high schoolers that came to D.C. to protest at the March for our lives.

Advocates of the measure say they have the support of seven of 13, a majority of D.C. Council members.

“I think people are getting excited about this, especially with what’s going on in the nation right now in terms of youth leading social change. So I think that people are going to be very excited about it and want to get on board,” said Alisha Chopra, 18, a senior at School Without Walls.

George Soros’ scheme to change the US electorate is publicised in his Open Societies Foundation guide. Read more on that here.
