Excuse me! Someone just contacted Zuma Times to aks the question, "How can 12 year olds be allowed to vote in LA City Neighborhood Council elections if the elections are run by the City Clerk's Office?
The City of Los Angeles takes money from the Federal Government, and the City Clerk's office is run with City money. If you are taking Federal money (as the City of Los Angeles is), then don't you have to abide by Federal laws?
And when it comes to election law, the Federal Voting Rights Act has the age limit set at 18. So to allow 12 year olds to vote in City elections would appear to be a Federal Voting Rights violation.
Perhaps there will be a clarification in a U.S. Federal Court to sort the whole thing out. Luckily, Zuma Dogg has been putting it all down "for the record" during repeat appearances before Los Angeles City Council, so no one can say, "We didn't know" in court.
