Delaware Is Letting Corporations Vote In Elections Now. Is The US openly corrupting the idea of democracy?

Delaware Is Letting Corporations Vote In Elections Now. Is The US openly corrupting the idea of democracy?

Delaware High Courts upheld a municipal policy that allows artificial entities, like LLCs, family trusts, partnerships, and corporations to vote in local municipal elections, provided they own property there.

  1. Setup up a bunch of companies that outnumber the locals, assign 1 employee to each as a representative

  2. Vote in all your minions into positions of power

  3. Divert all public resources to yourself, give yourself all the extraction/dumping rights and block out everyone else

All this is now legal, and as a bonus the law will protect you. Could it potentially become a state wide policy in Delaware, maybe eventually nation-wide if this gets entrenched down the road?
