Uh ROACH you senile old bastard.  Since it was a presidential 
election that was the point of discussion, and that happens to 
be a FEDERAL one, then I point out to you the following 
concerning the 26th amnedment......
==========================================
U.S. Constitution: Twenty-Sixth Amendment 
Twenty-Sixth Amendment - Reduction of Voting Age Qualification 

Amendment Text | Annotations   
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are 
eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or 
abridged by the United States or by any State on account of 
age. 

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this 
article by appropriate legislation. 

Annotations 
The Eighteen-Year-Old Vote 

In extending the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in 1970 1 Congress 
included a provision lowering the age qualification to vote in 
all elections, federal, state, and local, to 18. 2 In a 
divided decision, the Supreme Court held that Congress was 
empowered to lower the age qualification in federal elections, 
but voided the application of the provision in all other 
elections as beyond congressional power. 3 Confronted thus 
with the possibility that they might have to maintain two sets 
of registration books and go to the expense of running 
separate election systems for federal elections and for all 
other elections, the States were receptive to the proposing of 
an Amendment by Congress to establish a minimum age 
qualification at 18 for all elections, and ratified it 
promptly. 4   
========================================

That you may have voted in a federal election in Texas and 
have been under the age of 21 in 1948 does nothing more than 
illustrate the general state of affairs concerning elections 
in the South.

The above is merely a mish-mash of fact and fancy, mostly the 
latter.  Roach you are completely discredited and relegated to 
the fringe suthrin' section.  You simply refuse to accept the 
fact that the entire platform of the Dixiecrat Party was 
concerned with segregationist issues.  PERIOD!  Yeah, yeah, 
save your 'possum tainted breath we all know that anything 
such as the actual document which might be posted on the 
internet is actually a fake written by communist symps and 
northern history revisionists.  Just give it up and consign 
your aging relic of a body to your namesakes the roaches.
