    Just a joke. MLB can play a game in communist Cuba, but requiring an ID to vote is just too much to ignore I guess.

    But the law doesn?t require a id. It replaces a signature that matches the file to either dl number, state issued id number or last 4 of social.

    They want a situation in which there will never be another GOP winner in a major office.

    Mass Mail-in ballots with no verification. Dead people voting. Machines that are easily hacked.
    They are brazen as hell about it, and they don't care that it's fraudulent.

    MLB is just reacting to the Jim Crow headlines and Twitter trolls and not the actual contents of the law (some of which aren?t the best probably but a far cry from Jim Crow).

    No problem playing in states with late term abortion or puberty blockers to children.

    Most of it is minutia. The primary issues are the changes to the State Election Board. First, it removes the Secretary of State as the Chair and replaces him with an appointee of the Legislature. It can be argued this violates the State Constitution, as the Constitution gives the SOS the power of oversight of elections. Second, it gives that Elections Board the power to declare that a county elections board is derelict in their duties and can allow that counties votes to be thrown out. Which, if you follow Georgia politics, you know that this opens a window for partisan accusations to overturn local control and will be a tool for shenanigans (regardless of party). As I tell my non-Georgia friends - all you need to know about Georgia politics can be learned by reading about the Yazoo Land Frauds.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    And this is just a petty move of punishment for not violating his oath of office. The grift continues. Good job, guys.

    And, ironically, it hurts the blue city of Atlanta.

    I'm sure it's possible to tally the thousands of dollars in economic costs to blacks in Atlanta not having the game there anymore. I'm glad they are making the move though, more opportunities to highlight the fact that big business isn't your friend.

    Everything is politics. "Leave me alone" conservatives - this is why you lose.

    Here's one better - Section 16 of the law allows any individual the ability to challenge the validity of the vote of an unlimited number of people within their district with no proof of malfeasance - just an accusation after the fact. So you will see more of the "dead voter" malarkey come up as an attempt to nullify votes. FYI - every "dead voter" allegation that was made by the Kraken crew in Georgia was proven wrong
