It hasnt gone anywhere because it wont pass. Do you doubt that democrats would pass this if they could and get more voters?

You said there was a vote though? It couldn't get enough Dem's to even bring it to a vote. And no I don't think a majority of Dem's would choose to allow non adults to vote and it would certainly be dead if it made it to the floor. There are significantly more examples of Repub's trying to restrict voting since the 60's than Dem's trying to expand voting beyond groups of adults who were deprived from voting like women, African Americans, etc.

They voted on it in the house, and for democrats it was 125 for and 108 against, and 1 republican voting for it. So yes a majority of house democrats voted for it.
