What is the strongest evidence in Argument 1? Argument 1: The voting age should be lowered. Voter turnout for elections can be low. Allowing more people the right to vote will increase the number of people who do vote. Lowering the voting age will give students the right to vote on issues that affect their every day lives. Students who start voting sooner may also continue to vote throughout their lives. Argument 2: The voting age should be increased. Many students are not prepared to vote. They have not participated in enough organizations or events outside of school to have an interest in voting about them. Younger students can easily influenced by peer or family pressure and may not vote freely. (1 point)
The strongest evidence in Argument 1 is "Allowing more people the right to vote will increase the number of people who do vote." This is a logical statement that suggests that by lowering the voting age, more individuals will have the opportunity to vote, thereby increasing voter turnout.
