MLB removed the All-Star Game from Atlanta after Georgia passed a series of voter reforms aimed at safeguarding the integrity of their elections.
MLB and other corporations claimed that the new law acted as a "Voter suppression" measure by shortening early voting periods and requiring ID. Putting the falseness of those claims aside, for a moment, one would think that if MLB were so appalled by those measures, they would move their All-Star game to a place that fewer voting restrictions, not more.
Not only does the state of Colorado require proof of identification when casting a ballot to vote, but it also has fewer early voting days than Georgia.
As for the claims that Georgia's voting laws represent some attempt at severely restricting people's ability to vote, even the Washington Post gave President Biden four Pinocchios for saying that the Georgia law changed election day voting hours.
The following day, Biden claimed the law ended voting hours early "so working people can't cast their vote after their shift is over.
The law limits the early voting period before runoff elections, but Georgia' early voting period is still more generous than that of some other states, including Biden's home state of Delaware.
Many had questioned whether MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred had read Georgia's voting laws before deciding to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
