"And honestly, I wouldn't want braindead teenagers who text message 24/7 to vote."
Iofthestorm, you fail to realize that those braindead teenagers grow up to be braindead adults. At least given the ability to vote at a young age, I think, it would make people become more politically active (i.e.: voting), at the very least, perhaps even more politically conscious. When voting becomes easier, as many complain--which is funny, because I already think the process to be easy enough--more people will participate.
But I wholly agree, cell phones do seem inherently more insecure than any other method of which I can think.
