14-Year-Old Voters

No joke: Some bozos in California want to extend the franchise. This is a bad idea, but I’ve got a good one that possibly fits into the same category of voting rights for children–let parents vote on their behalf. This would be a huge boon for conservatives. After all, married couples with children living at home are one of the most strongly Republican demographic groups in the country. Shouldn’t someone propose this reform–”for their sake of our children”?
