Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced an essential boycott of Georgia over their new voting laws by pulling the announced 2021 All-Star Game and MLB draft out of Atlanta. The game was supposed to take place at Braves Stadium and it would have honored the legendary Hank Aaron, a prolific black player for the Braves who died earlier this year… just days after receiving the vaccine. The next location for MLB’s All-Star game has yet to be announced.
Outrage toward the new law has been extreme, although lawmakers in the state are not backing down and stand by it. Coca-Cola and Delta, both Georgia-based, have also announced their displeasure with Georgia’s new voting laws. Joe Biden called the new laws “Jim Crow in the 21st Century.” There has been a “dog-piling” on Georgia by the “woke” left and businesses intimidated by them. The reality of Georgia’s new voting laws, however, may paint a different picture than the one painted by ideological extremists on the left.

Ballot harvesting was another problem…not sure if Georgia experienced that, but there were accounts of it happening in some places. It’s illegal in GA since H.B. 316 passed in 2019.
As always, hypocrisy from leftists, and companies should stay away from politics.
