For example, the vast majority of Democratic primary voters aged 18-24 supported Bernie Sanders, in part because of his irresponsible promise of free college education. Adding a large number of people like me to the voter rolls, all of whom have little experience in the workforce, would increase support for Sanders-style populism over Clinton-style pragmatism. Job experience helps develop economic literacy. Lowering the voting age to include people who lack such experience would do more harm than good.
