We are so fucked
Yep. But if it makes you feel any better, there was never a time when you weren’t.
Wonderful … in addition to
bribinglobbying politicians they can now vote for them.We are one Super PAC dark money donation away from the Bill of Rights becoming the Bill of Privileges.
It already is. And was. Not everyone gets the benefit of them, particularly if you dont have a white dick.
I’m white, but my dick is significantly darker for some reason I never understood… just in case this is meant as synecdoche and not specific case law.
Hey hey hey leave my teeny tiny vestigial trans dick out of this
Okay, they have the right to vote, but HOW do they vote? If my mom wants to vote, I can’t go vote in her place as a proxy, so a person couldn’t vote in proxy for a corp. Does a company have to be 18 years old to vote? In Delaware you need a state ID or a social security number to vote. Can they get those? So many nonsensical leaps in logic have to be made to make this possible.
Corporations get special treatment, like kids with AIDS at waterparks.
They skip the line. No ID required.
In the US, people are second class citizens to corporations
Okay silver lining this explicitly applies to voting in municipal elections. This only applies to municipalities that have a law specifically allowing a vote for every property owner and citizen.
This is extremely limited in scope. Batshit insane, but not as bad as it first seemed.
Don’t worry. They’ll extend it to more elections soon.
I mean that’s unlikely as this is a very very narrow ruling. Municipal elections are some of the most deregulated type of elections. I mean one town elected a dog and in some towns children have been able to legally run.
There’s a large lack of federal and state law regulating city elections, or at least when compared to state and federal elections.
Of course they could still change it, but it should take more than a court case. If courts care to follow established law, which is shaky the days I’ll give you that
Can a corporation have an ID? Can a corporation have a social Security number? If a corporation dies can I burn it in a crematory to make ashes or bury it in the ground?
This is such horseshit
Well, that’s one way for States to make a pittance from rich people.
Every rich person will now open 99 bs companies to vote 100 times.
Just as God intended.
A “novel” ruling… Yeah that’s one way to put it…
So then if you form a do nothing LLC, do you get an extra vote?

LLCs are pass-through entities and not corporations. Thankfully no pass-throughs have been granted personhood yet.
Limited Liability Companies are expressly discussed in the article and the court filing.
Next step, trading votes like stocks on the exchange.
I wonder how much of this is blowback from Hawaii kicking their asses.
Not American enough for me. When can I vote for corporations in elections? i want to be able to choose between voting for palantir or onlyfans for president
This is treason
Each employee can represent 3/5 of a vote!
It’s possible that he’s actually interpreting the law correctly. It’s just that the laws on this crap in Delaware are clearly batshit insane.
There’s a reason Delaware is picked by so many companies to incorporate.
