Claim 4: “Corporations can now vote in Delaware”
MISLEADING
The claim suggests a general right for corporations to vote in Delaware. However, the evidence specifies that a judge ruled corporations can vote in 'some municipal elections' (specifically referring to the beach town of Fenwick Island), not as a general state-wide rule for all elections.
