Millions of Texans have hit the polls for early voting the last couple of weeks.

A new poll found that nearly a quarter of Americans feel that not enough people are eligible to vote, though.


The poll, conducted by YouGov, found that 20% of us feel that kids "of all ages" should be allowed to vote.  Since a lot of children have trouble staying inside the lines in their coloring books, we are confused how well they would fare keeping their marks inside the little circles on their ballots.

Further, the poll also found that 13% of people support giving parents one additional vote for each child they have who is a minor.

On the other side of the spectrum, 35% of Americans think the minimum voting age for national elections should be raised to 21.
