Disagree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While Eisenhower may have agreed with the principle that taxpayers should have a say in government, there is no evidence to suggest that he would have supported lowering the voting age to include all taxpayers. The voting age remained at 21 throughout his presidency.

Disagree

Yes

There is no historical evidence to suggest that Dwight D. Eisenhower advocated for lowering the voting age during his presidency. The voting age was not lowered from 21 to 18 until the 26th Amendment in 1971, well after Eisenhower's presidency.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Eisenhower, as a proponent of democracy, would likely have disagreed with the idea of requiring voters to pass a test to vote. This could be seen as a barrier to voting and contrary to the democratic principle of universal suffrage.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

There is no evidence to suggest that Eisenhower would have supported raising the voting age. This would have been a highly unpopular move and contrary to the democratic principles he upheld.
