Mercury News is reporting that John Vasconcellos (D-Santa Clara)
is proposing that 14 year olds get the vote." Under the plan 16 year olds would get a half vote, and 14 year olds get a quarter vote. Under the 3/5ths compromise, slaves were worth 3/5ths of a vote. So what are we trying to tell California kids here?
