Alfonso Said He Was “Happy To” Move The Voting Age To Twenty-One. According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “He said that the age could be 18, 21 or 27, but that once a person hits that age, ‘you are a full citizen of the United States, entitled to every single one of those rights. I would absolutely support constitutional carry for 18 and up,’ he said. ‘But I'm also happy to move the voting age to 21, if that's what we think is the best to do. And sometimes I don't know if that's such a horrible thing." [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 9/23/26]

Americans Have Been Able To Vote At 18 Since 1971 After It Was Argued The Voting Age Should Match The Age One Can Be Drafted. According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “Americans have been able to vote at 18 since 1971, when the 26th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, according to the Reagan Library archives. That amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to match the age of those who could be drafted to fight in the military, because people argued that if a citizen was old enough to serve, they should also have the right to vote at the same age."
