All US Citizens Over 18 Allowed To Vote In National Elections Post WW2.

I was surprised that it took until about 1970 for Us citizens of 18 years to get the vote, up until then it had been 21. Also it's well documented how Black citizens particularily in the South were disenfranchised. How would major national elections have changed if there was genuine over 18 yearuniversal adult sufferage post WW2?
 
Until the 1970's, not much

I argue that until there was a major cultural separation between generations, moving the voting age to eighteen wasn't going to make much of a political difference EXCEPT with all the expectations of citizenship falling on one date instead of splitting off driving, voting, and drinking ages of majority as we do now for various reasons.
