Absolutely maddening. Overvoting is a well known issue which plagues the market and makes legitimate / trustworthy shareholder democracy impossible.
Direct Registration is the only way to be completely confident that YOUR vote was not only cast, but COUNTED.
Oh, also, another more recent tally found widespread overvoting, too.
In one of the latest tallies in 2018, there were 134 instances of overvoting, equating to 5.9 million votes being discarded and not counted.
And then this as just another example:
"We've seen problems which came really to the fore, particularly with Procter and Gamble's proxy fight, which nobody really knows what the outcome was. There were enough "hanging-chads," so-to-speak, that that was never really resolved."
Great find!
Yep. Insanity.
From https://marketliteracy.org
Shareholders and the associated corporations/companies can be taken over / misguided / misled / duped by way of sham voting via short-selling and the subsequent counterfeit/phantom shares - where and when elections may result in highly questionable policies/decisions implemented, as well as an installation of corrupt officials & board members, resulting in dubious business-practices wherein ulterior motives are rampant, along with the potential creation of a lobbying, bribing, and (frankly) psychopathic organization.
Indeed, that's what has been happening.
When we hear talk about "corporations having too much power!" - this is one of the main mechanisms making that possible.
Much agreed on the DRS aspect, of course.
In 100% of the votes reviewed, one share, one vote did not happen.
