[hgmfkenu] Disenfranchising kids voting

Many secondary schools hold mock elections on election day, e.g., "Kids Voting", to prepare students for voting in the real world.

Somewhat more realistic and relevant would be to include mock attempts at disenfranchisement modeled on the many illegal and barely legal practices attempted or done in the real world.

The kid might get fooled, but it was only pretend.  Let it be a lesson for the real world.
