Holy shit that is insane

Judge rules Fenwick Island's corporate voting does not dilute human votes

So I can buy a building and sell closet space to other companies (which I also own) for infinite voting power. This is absurd.

"However, plaintiff has not demonstrated ⁠that this ​policy violates the principle of one person/entity/one vote."

Never in my life have I ever seen it written this way.

I also like the note about there being “far more corporations” in DE than residents. So I guess this is just a case of it not having been demonstrated yet. I wonder how much it costs to license a company in DE. I wonder how hard it would be for the Internet to absolutely make these morons eat their words. 2 elections? 3?

Oh no. It's not even new. WTF, Delaware?

Nonresident voting in local elections has been permitted ​in Fenwick Island since it was incorporated in 1953, according to the court ruling. In 2008, Delaware's General Assembly amended ‌the charter ⁠to allow non-resident voting by artificial entities, including corporations, partnerships, trusts and limited liability companies, which must be chartered in Delaware.

Several other towns in Delaware allow companies and other legal entities to vote in local elections if they own property in the municipality.

So not only is the state of DE a tax haven, and cravenly pro-corporate at that, but this would allow all those companies chartered there (with nothing more than a rented closet and PO Box) to continue to vote for the status quo. If the good people of that state wanted to vote these assholes out and/or make corporate voting illegal, it's possible that they no longer can.

Can we just wipe Delaware off the map and replace it with Puerto Rico?

So, the ruling requires you to own land.

So someone should buy a few acres and sell 1x1 foot lots for a boat load of money.
