I don't know much about politics, but this certainly doesn't sound so good.
"A proposed amendment to California's constitution would give 16-year-olds a half-vote and 14-year-olds a quarter-vote in state elections."
"The idea, formally called "Training Wheels for Citizenship," first requires two-thirds approval by the Legislature to appear on this November's ballot. It would go in effect in 2006."
Could this mean doom to all Californians?
Or could this mean lowered drinking age?
What do you guys think?

Sounds like people with children will get more than one vote.
