Deny the Vote at 65 A Brandeis Professor Proposes
Brandeis University lecturer Professor Douglas P. Stewart urges amending the Constitution or enacting laws to bar Americans over 65 from voting. He argues seniors vote for self serving goals like higher Social Security and pensions, while claiming the elderly are increasingly unable to reason clearly. He cites senior voter participation at 79 percent and contrasts it with lower rates among younger adults. He denies prejudice, citing his own parents vote, but maintains age based disenfranchisement as a principle for a future society.
