Maybe they all move to incorporate in South Dakota.

It appears that if you get Delaware on board, you get the vast majority of corporations. 81% in 2024. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #7

Very blue state. Delaware voted more than 56% for Harris in 2024 Wednesdays Sep 21 #59

But to do this, 70sEraVet Sep 21 #5

OK, but existing corporations probably wouldn't do that right away. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #13

How would a state prevent TV commercials from another state from entering their airwaves? MichMan Sep 21 #14

Regional ads are used all the time. Add a regulation, and use that same technology. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #21

Yes, and if you live in the vicinity of a state border, you see or hear them all the time. MichMan Sep 21 #22

OK. So? Are you saying it shouldn't be done because a few people at the border will Scrivener7 Sep 21 #24

Because that would be overturned under numerous FCC, interstate commerce, and First Amendment grounds MichMan Sep 21 #30

What would be overturned? You'd be limiting the money from the corporations being spent anywhere. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #34

So Illinois could pass a law not allowing a corporation chartered in South Dakota from airing TV ads in Indiana? MichMan Sep 21 #39

No. It has nothing to do with that. Delaware passes the law. All the corporations that are chartered Scrivener7 Sep 21 #46

Has Delaware indicated they support it? MichMan Sep 21 #51

Oh, jeez. Maybe read the article. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #52

The article doesn't mention the odds of Delaware passing it. MichMan Sep 21 #53

I still don't get your issue. It's a matter of where the corporations incorporate, not where ads go. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #35

If I understand you, if Illinois passed this law, any corporation from Illinois couldn't make political contributions MichMan Sep 21 #41

The vast majority of corporations are incorporated in Delaware. Delaware passes the law. Scrivener7 Sep 21 #48

I get what MichMan is saying... SickOfTheOnePct Sep 21 #43

No. It's not the state that's involved. It's the corporation. It's not the location of the ad that's restricted, Scrivener7 Sep 21 #50
