A columnist reflects on Janey, a young voter advocate, who argued in the Federal District Court of Appeals in Los Angeles for 18 to 20 year olds to vote.

The piece contrasts youth frustration with adult legal gates and cites the President’s signing of the 18 20 vote bill and its constitutional doubt.
