alt Hacker NewsIt's specifically about corporations that own property in a specific town voting. So no you can't just spin up a bunch of LLCs to rig an election, this is about the rights of absentee landlords.

What right?
There is no right for non-residents of a city to vote in that city elections just because they own property there. Owning that property via a LLC shouldn't change that.
Why can't corporations be toen councilors or mayors in those same towns? A privilege availed to other voters there.
I'm being sarcastic because I don't like it. Corporations are a simulacrum of people, and at best, their personhhood a useful legal fiction under very limited number of scenarios.
How about fuck absentee landlords, especially if they're not actually people?
And when my plot of land is co-owned by my 100 shell corporations?

Sure you can. You just have to sell them some land as part of it.
