In a few weeks, my next book will be coming out, “Who Killed the American Dream: The Greatest Political Crime Ever Told,” and the timing couldn’t be more synchronous.
Not for nothing, but this whole article reads like an ad for their book.
Not that this isn't a problem, obviously, but it's also a new ruling that seems pretty likely to get thrown out on appeal. I don't think this is worth getting hysterical over.
It's also not all elections. It's limited to municipal votes where businesses own brick and mortar. The actual case is a town that's basically all businesses with few residents, as far as I can tell, and the ruling allows businesses to vote on town business only, as it effects them as well.
That said, I agree it's a bad ruling. And I agree that it should be overturned (as I think it will.) But to imply that this allows someone to spin up 100k LLCs and rig the vote for Donal Trump or something is a willful misreading of the ruling.
