Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz has ruled that companies in Delaware will be able to vote in elections just like people.

This is especially wacky for Delaware.

As per the US Census Bureau, the estimated human population of Delaware is just over 1 million.

But there are over 2 million corporations headquartered in the state, which means there are far more companies in Delaware than there are people.

According to Bloomberg Law, the ruling came up because the town of Fenwick Island was already letting corporations vote in its municipal elections (they own most of the property, after all).

The ACLU thought letting companies vote as if they were human beings might drown out the real people who actually live in the city of Fenwick Island, so they sued.

Karsnitz dismissed the lawsuit from Delaware's Superior Court, citing ‘the principle of one person/entity/one vote.'

‘Visions of faceless large corporations or even HAL controlling a small town are frightening and the stuff of science fiction,' but ‘trusts, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations are expressly recognized as "persons" in the Delaware Code,' the judge said.

So, if corporations are expressly recognized as persons and can vote just like citizens, at least on Fenwick Island, can they also be summoned for jury duty or get called up for the draft?

Can foreign companies be denaturalized?
