Teenagers are going to have to wait a couple more years to vote.
The House rejected a liberal lawmaker’s proposal to lower the voting age to 16 years old for congressional and presidential elections, in a vote that exposed divisions among DEMOCRATS over how far to go in expanding the franchise to more people.
The measure from Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), one of the most progressive members of the House, drew 125 in favor to 302 against. No Republicans supported the measure, which was part of a larger, sweeping voting-rights package.
“Elections are about the future and no one has more at stake in that future than our youth,” said Rep. Barbara Lee (D., Calif.). “Often the objection is simply that 16-year-olds are too young to exercise good judgment. This is really a patronizing thought.”

You're joking, right? It says the state must process an application to register when the applicant is under the age of 18. That doesn't mean the applicant can actually vote before he turns 18.
"A State may not refuse to accept or process an individual’s application to register to vote in elections for Federal office on the grounds that the individual is under 18 years of age at the time the individual submits the application, so long as the individual is at least 16 years of age at such time. "
In some states people can already register by the age of 16. It appears like the bill is trying to set one standard of registration across the country, rather than the piecemeal system now in place.
