5. The idea is that people who are of voting age should not be discriminated against

because of their age.

Basically, one rule should apply for all.

If people over 65 are given a special benefit--an easier and safer way to vote--this inherently discriminates against voters who are 18 to 65. It makes people over 65 a special category who have an easier time voting, which means their vote is somehow more valuable than those under 65.

Why should people over 65 get an automatic special privilege?
