In other towns where this is allowed, a representative of the entity, not the actual owner, was able to cast the ballot for the company after signing the necessary affidavit. Delaware allows for the owner of the LLC’s identity to not be public.
Yep no way this doesn’t-
In a Newark referendum election in 2019, a property manager was able to vote 31 times because he was in control of 31 LLCs, which owned 31 parcels of land. The city then changed its regulations after this became public.
Ah it already did cause problems.
Why in the world would you put business on the same legal basis of actual citizens?
Citizens United at least had some hand wavy group rights derived from each individual’s rights going for it.
This is basically buy your way to vote in any local election.
<s>Because as a business owner you have exactly as much say in a locality’s government as someone who actually lives there. Or even more of they don’t fix the “each LLC gets a vote not the owner loophole”.<\s>
Delaware has an entire economy built around corporate law. The more reasons they can provide to have companies register in their state the more the beast is fed.

You ever heard of Citizens United?
Also this is fucking insane and should be illegal.
But it won’t be, because the inner circle elites are the kind of people who be able to abuse this, hence why it is even considered in the first place.

Citizens United is one of the worst things that has ever happened to the American people.
Who would’ve guessed, right?

Some of these stats are crazy for the country’s smallest state.
because religion is specifically prohibited from doing so?
