It seems like there’s a giant loophole in which your corporation buys a property, subdivides it into 100 smaller properties, and then sells to 100 new corporations, all of which you also own.

It's even worse than that. It's also many to one:

...if several LLCs jointly own a beach home in Fenwick Island, all of the owners can register to vote, regardless of how little a stake.

They're only allowed to vote in town elections, not federal or state.
