MLB to move All-Star Game from Georgia

Major League Baseball announced Friday that this season's All-Star Game and MLB Draft
will not be held in Atlanta in response to Georgia's recently passed laws that placed 

new restrictions on voting.

"Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs,
former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance,
among others, to listen to their views," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said
in a statement. "I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values
as a sport is by relocating this year's All-Star Game and MLB Draft."

"Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans
and opposes restrictions to the ballot box," Manfred said in the statement.

The best way for corporations to get their point across is to withhold financial support for the Republican party or at least what's left of it.

Has the huge water main leak in Fulton County Georgia been repaired yet? I was concerned it might destroy the 12th hole at Augusta National! We can not play The Masters with only 17 holes.

Scott, Cotton & Duncan (SC) are touting "cancel culture" as the cause decision for the MLB.

Nope....making it more difficult for people to vote is the cause.

Really people watch the all star game this is news to me... the masters going to played outside of Georgia? Ok. What litter box do you have in mind.

  correct 

funny too becuz repos have been actively trying to cancel their own colleagues who voted for rump to b impeached a second time

hypocrits

Having the All-Star game in your town is a big event that brings millions into the community.

The Home Run Derby the day before the game sells out every year & gets better TV ratings than the game itself. 

Major League Baseball has it's headquarters in New York. In New York if you want to vote absentee you MUST have a valid reason, Georgia's law allows absentee without reason. Georgia has more early voting days. Georgia law now allows drop boxes, it didn't before. Overall Georgia's new law is MUCH more liberial/flexible than several Dem states including Biden's home state, Delaware. 

But wait, you MUST have a valid ID now, OHHHHH THE JIM CROW!!!!!!!! 

Delta Airline reviewed the Georgia law and put out at statement saying how much more liberial it is. They also told their employees they helped craft the law.

Then suddenly Delta does an about face and condemns the law?????? CAN YOU SAY POLITICAL PRESSURE!!!!!!! 

Then the Georgia Legislature withdrawls $60 million tax breaks for Delta Airlines. AOC is shocked!!!! The queen of cancel culture upset???? 

This will be the tipping point.

Will Biden and fellow Democrats win and succeed at creating a communistic socilist state where truth is no where to be found? 

Or will they end up looking like the fools they really are?

The new Georgia voting law signed by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Thursday is that it would make it illegal for people to provide food or water to voters . Jam those voting machines make the wait 5 hours and georgia sunshine and lower turn out means republican victory.

 None of these so-called intelligent people have read the law as written. They have been coerced into supporting cancel culture.

In Michigan you are asked for ID when you go to the polls. If you say, "Oh shucks, I forgot my ID", no problem just sign here and we trust you say you are who you say you are. 

So if you neighbor died or moved out of state, or maybe a family member died, if they were registered to vote and are on the voting list at the polls you could use the above and cast more ballots, absentee too.

To help that, the Secretary of the State of Michigan put out a memo saying to clerks at the polls; you still must check signatures but do so with the idea the signature is valid and only if there are more points of the signature that are not right vs those that are right should you disqualify the ballot. This violated state law, was taken to court, and this memo was thrown out in March, judge said it was illegal, a little late. 

The problem is; #1 it's government, since when can they do things right. #2 voting registers are not maintained as they should be. Folks that die or move out of state should be promptly removed. Their not. I left this state for ten years, returned, and my registration still on the books! Someone could have voted with my name during those ten years. 

The state of Washington appears to have their act together. They have mail-in voting and they say their register is ALWAYS up to date. Seem pretty proud of it too. The Wash. Sec of State, Kim Wyman warns the rest of the U.S, it's very HARD and COMPLICATED, but can be done. It took them years to get there.

Me personally, wouldn't have a problem with a proper run system, be it mail-in, or even internet for that matter. BUT YOU NEED SAFEGUARDS!!

Now with all the outright lies about Georgia's law, corporations OBVIOUSLY being pushed to get involved, I don't trust a damn thing Dems purpose and so are MILLIONS OF OTHERS. 

STOP THE LIES.

FIX THE PROBLEMS.

Channel 4 News has exclusively obtained a vast cache of data used by Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign on almost 200 million American voters.

It reveals that 3.5 million Black Americans were categorised by Donald Trump’s campaign as ‘Deterrence’ – voters they wanted to stay home on election day.

Tonight, civil rights campaigners said the evidence amounted to a new form of voter “suppression” and called on Facebook to disclose ads and targeting information that has never been made public.

The ‘Deterrence’ project can be revealed after Channel 4 News obtained the database used by Trump’s digital campaign team – credited with helping deliver his shock victory to become president four years ago.

@THEMUGG

 Like you read the 98 page bill.

Get real! You probably don't even know the name of the bill. Try reading it before accusing others of not knowing what the bill entails.

Presiding thesis of impact of new voter suppression laws. 

During the Jim Crow era, laws that looked neutral on their face were specifically designed to target Black voters. Today, legislators across the country 

The groups are suing to block voter restrictions included in SB202, legislation signed into law days ago by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. Specifically, the lawsuit names as defendants Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Rebecca Sullivan, David Worley, Matthew Mashburn, and Anh Le, in their official capacities as members of the Georgia State Election Board. 

According to the lawsuit, in enacting SB 202, the Georgia Legislature is using racial discrimination as a means to achieve a partisan end. Their efforts to try and restrict voting access, as required by SB202, constitute intentional discrimination in violation of the U.S. Constitution and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  

SB202 includes provisions that target and make early in-person voting, voting by absentee ballot, and using ballot drop boxes more difficult, all of which were used much more extensively by voters of color than voting in-person on election day. Furthermore, SB202 removes the voting power of the Secretary of State on the State Elections Board, and allows the State Election Board to take over county election boards, which would give the State Elections Board unprecedented authority to target jurisdictions with a large population of Black voters and other voters of color.

Step 1 - The Ultimatum

Step 2 - Call the Bluff

All the good people of Georgia need to do is stop going to Braves games! 

true

and that is just a start .more actions coming from other sources too .

many calls for boycotts

Conservatives who believe government shouldn’t tell businesses what to do are mad about MLB making a choice of its own volition. Free market capitalism cuts both ways. Here we have capitalism supporting democracy.

if and when all this is independently verified   this is explosive

good point 

While Black Americans made up just 13 percent of the voters identified in the 2016 database, they constituted 29 percent of the “Deterrence” group.

And in certain states, the data was even pronounced: In Georgia, Black people make up 32 percent of the state’s population, but 61 percent of the Trump campaign’s “Deterrence” category. In North Carolina, where Black people make up 22 percent of the population, they were 46 percent of the “Deterrence” group. 

The group Cambridge analytical now bankrupt was a collection of ex spies who committed a huge data breach to gain an advantage to dissuade blacks in key swing states to stay home.

All sources point back to the investigational journalism directed by channel 4 news. See above.

It wasn't the Russians hun. 

Cambridge Analytica collapsed after investigations by Channel 4 News, The Observer and the New York Times in 2018.

In the U.S., aside from the FTC, Facebook is also under investigation by three other regulators (the SEC, the FBI and the Justice Department) and could face additional fines.

The SEC, for example, could levy a fine of up to $1.8 billion for insufficient public disclosure during the Cambridge Analytica case (the incident happened in 2015, but Facebook didn’t notify shareholders until 2017), a regulated industries expert told Observer last summer. This estimation was based on Facebook’s market capitalization and a preceding Yahoo case of a similar nature.

It is believed that Georgia will be LOSING OUT on about $100 MILLION revenues as a result of their decision to suppress minority votes

Did anyone here read georgia new law word for word ??? If not don't comment on it and talk about something you might know or think you know
