I don't think changing the voting age is a big deal either way.

You can argue that they are not legally adults and can't serve in the military or police until 18, but, we only do elections every two years, so if you let 16 year olds vote, they will become legal adults before the people they are voting for leave office. It's fair in that sense, but it's not like it's unfair now.

That said, only about 2% of the population is 16 or 17 years old. The impact on elections would be miniscule, especially considering most of them won't bother to vote.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
