Answer:

The voting age in America should not be changed from 18 to 16. This is because there are many immature citizen teens out there who would not look further into detail about who they would vote for. Most would just pick based off of things they like about the person. They wouldn't look into further detail. And besides your not an adult until your 18 years of age or in the twenty age. Sixteen year old teens are smart yes, but still too young to be voting especially for something that could change everyone's lives. If you were to let an 16 year old be allowed to vote your life and the rest of the world rests in their hands basically. 18 year old teens are more mature about this topic and more aware of what needs to be done to vote for someone. They look into things and find out more about that person.
