Major League Baseball’s woke idea in early April apparently was to punish Georgia for what it viewed as its unfair, recently passed voting law by yanking the All-Star Game from Atlanta.
At the time, MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred Jr. said the move was “the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport,” that pro baseball “fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions at the ballot box,” and that “fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support.”
Georgia’s election reforms include requiring absentee ballots be verified with a photo ID and expanding early voting for primary and general elections — changes generally supported by Republicans and opposed by Democrats.
