  • I like Thom Hartmann, but there’s a difference between a court for one tiny town saying corporations can vote in municipal elections in that one town and “ZOMG! Corporations can vote in Delaware!”

    Some significant problems:

    1. You have to be 18 to vote, if “corporations are people”, wouldn’t that eliminate any corporation founded in the last 17 years?

    2. How would “a corporation” register to vote in the first place?

    3. How would “a corporation” cast a vote?

    If it falls to the CEO to register and vote for the company, how is that not double voting?

    If the CEO is not a resident of that town, how is that a legal vote?

    Too many flaws in this story that Hartmann fails to address…
