More than a million adults have legal guardians. In seven states, they can't vote. - Lemmy.World

If you have someone making life choices for you does it not make sense that you shouldn’t be allowed to vote? Someone has successfully made an argument you aren’t fit to run your own life. Not sure why they should be allowed to affect the lives of others. I’m not sure what the difference is, at least in some cases, between people with a guardian and children <18 y/o. And IDK of many clamoring to lower the voting age.

If you want to argue that guardian and/or conservatorships are misused far too often then I’m with you on that.

Daily reminder that the average 15 year old is smarter than the average 70 year old by literally any psychometric standard.
