Bill to allow eighteen-year-olds to vote in Maryland
Annapolis March 2 A constitutional amendment to permit Maryland residents over 18 to vote was killed today by the House of Delegates after charges that the Young Communist League favored its passage. Delegate Le Roy Pumphrey cited Hitler’s youth movement in Germany and said American youth should be safeguarded until responsible. The article notes plans in the Senate to speed an emergency State Guard bill and references statements by lawmakers on the voting age, including support and opposition amid concerns tied to a 1944 election.
