Your Vote Counts (Kinda) - Since Rock the Vote has been such a successful campaign (not), here comes a new proposal from the California legislature to give the youth vote a shot at making their voices heard. That is, 14 year olds would get one-quarter of a vote and 16 year olds would get one-half of a vote in the state election process. What happened to one man, one vote? Yes, California had one of the lowest turnouts ever for the primary election last week, but I'm not convinced that "training wheels for responsible citizens" is going to do any good.
