## Resource

In a bold legal twist, Fenwick Island’s town charter lets corporations vote in local elections — a move the ACLU of Delaware is challenging in the state’s Supreme Court, arguing it violates the core principles of fair elections. With no election this year due to insufficient candidates, the ACLU sees the delay as a strategic win, giving the court more time to thoroughly examine the issue. Over 200 corporate entities — making up 12% of voters — currently hold voting power under the charter, which imposes no limits on how many corporations per property can vote or minimum ownership stakes. The ACLU’s case could reshape voting rights in Delaware, especially as lawmakers recently proposed an amendment restricting local voting to “natural persons,” pending final approval. The court’s decision could set a precedent for election integrity across the country. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
