Extension: No accounting for corporate governance: proxy voting with securities lending

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-047 · 2026-08-08

No accounting for corporate governance identifies a concrete proxy-voting failure: voting rights were not tracked when securities were lent, leading to improper vote counts. This extends Kaal's requirement that voting systems count votes robustly and transparently by showing that entitlement tracking is part of accurate counting. The evidence concerns corporate proxy voting, not quadratic voting or DAO manipulation.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.

The source identifies an entitlement-tracking failure in corporate proxy voting: loaned securities were not tracked and votes were counted improperly. This extends Kaal's requirement for robust, transparent vote counting with a distinct mechanism showing why accurate voting infrastructure must track who holds the vote; it does not study quadratic voting or DAOs.
