What States/Congressional Races would change if the voting Age was lowered to 16?

I hope this doesn't happen, but I think in general I think every part of the country minus places like ,ME, MT, IA, and other places notorious for a D-->R shift in general would get slightly bluer. Turnout amongst 16-18 year olds would probably be quite low too, so I don't think it would have massive implications, many would likely be duplicate votes of their parents.

Maybe NC would flip from D to R, I have no idea about turnout though

[EastOfEden]

I really don't think this would affect much in 2020 other than flipping IA-02 and NY-22.

Maybe CA-25 too.

Actually, the opposite is the case.

Austria is one of the few countries on the planet that allows 16-17 year olds to vote in federal elections.

Studies have shown that their turnout in every election is as high, or higher than the overall turnout, because they deal with the election in political science lessons in school at the time of the election, engage in school discussions and therefore are eager to vote.

Not only that, the things mentioned above make them more likely to vote in future elections too, therefore strengthening the civil engagement further.

The lowest turnout is actually in the 20-30 year old crowd ...

I buy that tbh, especially as teachers do encourage us even here to think about current elections.
I do know the teens in my age cohort (2000-2005 babies) are very politically engaged now (but I highly doubt it will hold)...I buy that they would turnout higher than say people on their mid-twenties at this point in time.
