This did not refute what I said.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoYou said: > The owner votes as themselves, and again as the corporate entity. Per the opinion, which I quoted above, this is not the case. (I do think it gets instantly messy with multi-owner corporations, though.)
- pseudalopex 5mo agoRefreeze5224 said what you claimed I said. You quoted Fenwick's charter. Where a voter is entitled to vote [in Fenwick] by virtue of being both a resident [in Fenwick] and as an owner of real property [in Fenwick], that voter shall be entitled to only one vote [in Fenwick]; where a voter is entitled to vote [in Fenwick] by ownership of two or more parcels of real property [in Fenwick], that voter shall be entitled to only one vote [in Fenwick]. You dispute this meaning? Refreeze5224 did not say in Fenwick.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoThe context is clearly "in Fenwick". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48295844 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48295844
- pseudalopex 5mo agoThe strongest plausible interpretation of josefritzishere and Refreeze5224 was the judge was wrong because voting in 2 places would violate 1 person 1 vote. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize.[1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- ceejayoz 5mo agoBut that's not true, either. My town has a village at its core; village residents vote in two places. Our school district doesn't perfectly match the town's borders, either, so some folks vote in two places there. One person gets one vote in a particular election.
- pseudalopex 5mo agoThis is not what people mean when they say vote in 2 places commonly. And I said 2 cities before. 1 person 1 vote is an expression of equal representation.[1] Someone who votes in city 1 and city 2 and someone who votes in city 1 solely have unequal representation.
