Give parents extra votes for their children who are not yet eligible to vote. Perhaps half a vote per child for starters.

This assumes parents would vote in the interests of future adults. In my experience, parents are quite happy to vote against future adults, even their own. Housing policy is the most obvious example.

Is that a reference to one of the sources of the civil war in the US? Voting rights for disenfranchised (literally enslaved) people?
