Children have no interest and know nothing about politics. Realistically they would just vote for who their parents vote for.

Realistically a lot of old people just vote for who the guy on TV told them to, or the party they joined 40 years ago. But we don't see disenfranchising them as legitimate.

Is there a study or some data backing this up? Or just a stereotype?

Same amount of evidence as saying kids would just vote for who their parents vote for.
