    How? Wouldn’t they have to go through a voter registration process that requires a voter id and ss#, and who casts the vote? The CEO or someone selected from the board?.. and couldn’t some rich asshole just start a whole bunch of corporations to give themselves as many votes as they want? This blatantly goes against the one person one vote principle.

      The wild thing is that because of Delaware’s tax laws, a LOT of businesses are registered in that state. This is honestly bonkers to me.

    If companies can vote, have free speech rights, and are people then why is it legal for one company to own another? Isn’t that slavery?

    So… if I own a company and spin off… oh, lets say a million shell corporations, have I generated a million voters?

    So let me get this straight… Corporations have the right to vote all the while the government is trying to purge registered voters from the polls? How long until the fucking corporations end up with multiple votes due to size?
