Agree

Yes

Lyndon B. Johnson was a strong advocate for civil rights and expanding the franchise. However, there is no specific historical evidence to suggest that he advocated for lowering the voting age during his presidency. The 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18, was not ratified until 1971, after Johnson's presidency.

Disagree

No

Johnson was a strong advocate for civil rights and expanding the franchise. He signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote. This suggests he would not be in favor of maintaining the status quo if it was seen as limiting the franchise.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Johnson's presidency was marked by his efforts to expand civil rights, including the right to vote. Raising the voting age would be contrary to his efforts to expand the franchise.

Very strongly disagree

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