Just outta curiosity @arizona why did you feel a need to open this question, because right now this is a considered spam and if you are saying you should not be able to vote when your 16 that is how it is in the USA. You have to be 18 to votem, so I just do not understand why this post is opened.

Hopfully this makes sence, if you need any more clarification you may dm me. Again if you could close this because this is considered spam. Thank you!
