Georgia election laws and MLB

It’s certainly a fantastic reminder how ridiculous the Dems assertions about Georgia were, however the only reason they’d want to hold their convention here is because they think they can win the states electoral votes. 
 

Which if it’s Trump, is possible. 
 

….in a state where one of the most conservative Governors in the country has a 62% approval rating.

As expected. . . . . . . . . . . . and known.

That was proven by the historic turnout in the election following the passage of the law.  It's about as much of a "duh" as say, seeing if it was an advantage for one NFL team to stay two weeks in London...

So,

 

Admission that they were misled by the leftists extremists.

 

Go back in this thread and read all the "usual suspects" bleating about how "Thats what you get for passing this obviously racist law"  

 

 Good News: MLB Says Georgia Is No Longer Racist!

 

 

Georgia proved that its voter integrity measures didn't suppress anyone's vote. Minority turnout increased even as the GOP swept nearly every 2022 statewide race by impressive margins, and a University of Georgia poll showed that literally zero black voters had issues while voting. The General Assembly strengthened voter protections in 2023.

 

Awarding another All-Star game is the closest that Georgia will get to an apology for MLB buying Abrams' lies and yanking the 2021 Midsummer Classic from Atlanta. 

 

What about senile Joe and his "Jim Crow on steroids" bullsh*t ?

 

When is he going to apologize ?

Sen. Warnock Will NOT Let Record Turnout in Ga. Ruin Democrats' 'Voter Suppression' Narrative

 

 

 

The Democrats' "Georgia voter suppression laws" narrative, which the rightful governor of that state, Stacy Abrams, helped spread, resonated so deeply in 2021 that Major League Baseball moved the All-Star game out of the state. Nothing has changed but for some reason, the MLB All-Star Game in 2025 will be in Atlanta.

 

In the 2022 midterms last year, voter turnout records in Georgia were smashed.

 

Add it all up and finally the Democrats will give up pushing the "voter suppression" nonsense, right?

 

Nope! Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock has a narrative and he's sticking to it, in spite of all kinds of evidence to the contrary: 

 

 

 

Though it is not really surprising;

 

Crying voter suppression = avenues for voting improprieties must remain open

True The Vote Wins Northern Georgia District Court Case on Voter Integrity -vs- Stacy Abrams, Marc Elias and the DOJ

 

True the Vote (TTV) declares a decisive triumph in their legal battle against Stacy Abrams’ Fair Fight, legal teams led by Marc Elias, and the Biden Department of Justice. A federal court in the Northern District of Georgia today affirmed that citizens have the right to lawfully petition their government in support of election integrity without fear of persecution or prosecution.

 

In a resounding vindication, TTV successfully defended its actions of December 2020, aiding Georgia citizens in filing elector challenges based on data showing over 364,000 voters appeared to be ineligible to vote due to change in residency.

REMINDER:

 

 

The All-Star Game That Wasn’t: Stacey Abrams, MLB, and the $100 Million Strikeout

By Charlton Allen

 

Tonight, the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played at Truist Park in metro Atlanta. It’s a celebratory event—four years overdue—but few in the media or the commissioner’s office want to talk about what happened last time.

 

In 2021, Commissioner Rob Manfred yanked this very event out of Georgia over a so-called voting rights controversy fueled by Stacey Abrams and her political machine.

 

The justification? Georgia’s election law, Senate Bill 202, was labeled “Jim Crow 2.0.” The damage? Nearly $100 million in lost revenue for local businesses. Yet, this story started long before SB 202.

 

The punchline? SB 202 is still the law—intact, enforced, and functional.

 

Abrams’s group, Fair Fight Action, launched its high-profile legal crusade after her 2018 loss to Brian Kemp, claiming Georgia’s voting laws were racist and suppressive.

 

Fair Fight selected Abrams’s campaign chair and close friend, Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, to serve as lead counsel, paying her firm over $20.2 million in legal fees over five years, according to a bombshell RealClearInvestigations exposé.

 

In the end, U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones, an Obama appointee, ruled in 2022 that Fair Fight had failed to produce direct evidence of a single disenfranchised voter—no constitutional violation, no breach of the Voting Rights Act, and no proof to back its sweeping claims. To top it off, the group was ordered to pay more than $200,000 in court costs and legal fees.

 

{snip}

 

Every successful pressure campaign needs a chokepoint—an institution that can be isolated, vilified, and forced to capitulate. In 2021, that chokepoint was Major League Baseball.

 

President Biden fanned the flames, branding Georgia’s law “sick” and “un-American.” Manfred got the message. Civic courage was cut from the roster and designated for assignment.

 

Under pressure from activists and media allies echoing Abrams’s talking points, Commissioner Rob Manfred took his bat and went home. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game,” he announced.

 

Let’s be clear: MLB’s decision was driven by a narrative Abrams helped construct—anchored in a lawsuit that collapsed in court and a law that remains firmly on the books, still guiding Georgia elections.

 

And yet the cost to Atlanta was steep.

 

Estimates pegged the loss at upwards of $100 million in local economic impact—hitting hardest the Black-owned businesses and hospitality workers Abrams claims to represent.

Four years ago, MLB moved its All-Star Game from Georgia.

Now, as the game is set to return to the ATL, baseball is ignoring that ever happened.

 

 

ATLANTA — With all due respect to Pat McAfee, a sleeveless, exuberant, bro-friendly TV host probably wouldn’t be the first choice to field inquiries about thorny political matters of voting rights. But on Monday at MLB’s All-Star Media Day, while hosting an event that included starting pitchers Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, McAfee faced a question that has lurked behind the scenes — far, far behind the scenes — of this year’s All-Star Game.

 

Why, since the game was removed from Atlanta in 2021 over Georgia’s then-new voting rights law, is it back in 2025, with the law still very much intact?

 

It’s a question McAfee and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts answered with some deft redirection … and a question Major League Baseball is answering with silence.
