Would you admit the corporation one vote or as many votes as total number of shares divided by number of shares held by smallest shareholder?

Is this a serious question? Are you talking about voting for politicians? Anyone can start as many corporations as they want.

Also corporations have roughly 100 million shares and anyone can buy a single share, so your formula would give one corporation more votes than the number of people who participated in the 2016 US election.

Do you really think corporations are under represented in the political process?

I wanted to illustrate sillyness of the idea. Partners of a corporation are already represented, no need to represent the whole partnership.

That seems like a rehash of what I was already saying, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.
