when was the voting age 16?

I've sort of followed this feud between Nebraska and Pastafarian.  First, he could be off by a couple of years, why should I concern myself with that.  Second, if you asked me when I first voted for a president (I've been voting since I was legally able to do so), I don't know if I could give you the correct answer right off the top of my head.  See, I know what year I turned 18, and what year I graduated high school. But, I think the first presidential election I would have been eligible for was a year (or so) after I graduated.  So, I really don't know. 

Now, having said that, would I ever pick a year before I turned 18?  No.  So, who knows.  Regardless, I am a bit remiss to understand why that should matter to me when debating Pasta.   He could be lying about who he is, what color he is, how old he is, and I think "so what"?  It's not like I'm going to date him or get personal with him.  I'm just going to discuss and debate his leftist comments, that's all.  None of this requires that I know his height, his eye color, his age, or his gender, etc.
