Georgia Gov. Kemp hits MLB, Biden after election law prompts All-Star move: Nothing more than 'political play'
Fox News
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Saturday said the decision to pull the Major League Baseball All-Star Game over objections to changes to his state's voting laws was a "political play."
"It's really a sad day for Major League Baseball," the Republican governor said. "As somebody that grew up playing baseball as a kid and a fan, played in high school, you know, big Braves fan -- I mean, this is terrible for the organization. It's terrible for the fans. It's terrible for the small business owners in the metro Atlanta community, and our state that was looking forward to hosting this game and had put a lot of resources into it. All because of a big lie." Kemp signed the bill on March 25. The legislation places new restrictions on voting by mail, adds voter ID requirements and limits ballot drop boxes. It also mandates two Saturdays of early voting ahead of general elections, an increase from just one, and leaves two Sundays as optional.More Related News
