I'm calling it first. Before @cstross gets here. (-:

Some insane corporation is going to have the bright idea of making its generative AI be a property owner in Delaware, and locate it in Delaware; which will give it the right to vote in elections under #DelawareLaw .

There have been #SciFi stories for decades about androids and aliens not being presumed to have human rights, from Asimov to Star Trek. I've long thought that no real-world legal system would actually have done this, though.

It turns out that #Delaware, with no fanfare, extended voting rights to all 'artificial entities' in 2006. (Notice that the list is 'including but not limited to' rather than exhaustive. That's legally important.)

If you think the system is already too skewed toward big money, check this out: multiple towns in Delaware explicitly allow artificial entities—corporations, LLCs, and trusts—to vote in local municipal elections.

Just this month, a court upheld that non-human entities can keep casting ballots as long as they own property there. We aren't talking about local moms and pops here. Because of how corporate law works, an out-of-state billionaire or a faceless real estate conglomerate can set up a web of shell companies, buy up local land, and literally vote on who runs the town council, how local tax dollars are spent, and what the zoning laws look like.Imagine living in a community your entire life, only to have your voice watered down by a piece of paper filed in a corporate registry by someone who has never even set foot in your state. It completely violates the fundamental American principle of "one person, one vote."[

The fact that it’s legal anywhere in this country is a massive wake-up call about how far deep-pocketed outsiders will go to buy political influence.Elections should belong to the people who breathe the air, drink the water, and raise their kids in the community—not the entities built to maximize profit.#DeocracyNotForSale #OnePersonOneVote #LocalPolitics #Delaware #CorporatePower #Vote
