Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz said the beach town of Fenwick Island was not diluting human votes by allowing companies and other legal entities that own property to cast votes in municipal elections.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware sued the town, arguing it violated the elections clause of the state constitution. The group sought a court order blocking Fenwick Island from counting votes by “non-human artificial entities” in future elections.
The group said entities make up about 12% of registered voters in the town.
A lawyer for the organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The town’s mayor, Natalie Magdeburger, did not immediately respond to a request for comment but told Reuters in March that the city believes “a property owner who pays taxes and is subject to our ordinances should have a say in who represents them on our Town Council.”
Since when did we ever have a principle of “one entity/one vote”?
This is a gigantic loophole, simply live in that town and register a corporation there and you can vote twice.
Corporations are people, my friend. Just people with only rights, no obligations.
Vote twice? No no no, you register 1000 companies and vote 1001 times.
Seems like the corporation would also need to own property.
How much property? You could just register 1 sqcm of your lawn to each corp…
There’s those groups “selling” 1 sq foot of Scotland. Maybe give it to your LLC and now you’ve got one vote.
