• Fenwick Island, Delaware, wrestles with right for corporations to vote amid national debate (votebeat.org) — Fenwick Island is at the center of a high‑stakes fight over whether corporations, LLCs, and family trusts should keep their right to vote in local elections, a practice now challenged by the ACLU and Delaware lawmakers. Residents, business owners, and town leaders are split over whether these "artificial entities" strengthen or undermine democracy, and a proposed state constitutional amendment could ultimately strip those voting rights.
