Major League Baseball cancelled the All Star game in Atlanta as a result of their new v**er law. The law calls for picture ID to v**e.MLB does not approve of this change. But they require a picture ID to pick up reserved, pre-paid tickets at the Box office. I smell a "r****t" hypocracy by MLB. OOPS Just looked at the title--Should have been MLB

MLB has a history of fraudulent v**es and b****t box stuffing that has plagued the All-Star e******n process for decades, which caused them to change and restrict their v****g methods more than two times in the past, 1957 and 2015.

In 2015 Major League Baseball voided over 60 million v**es suspected of fraud when 8 Kansas City Royals players were “v**ed” in as starters. MLB said, “between 60 and 65 million v**es had to be canceled. We don't really trumpet it because if someone thinks they're getting away with it, they'll try to do it again."

Now they announced they were moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta, in response to Georgia passing anti-v***r f***d legislation. MLB should understand that if people are willing to stuff the b****t box for an All-Star game, which is merely an exhibition, people will definitely stuff the b****t box for a P**********l e******n if anti-fraud v****g measures are not in place. It's called human nature.

What if I said, everyone knows black people and people of color are inherently incapable of taking the most basic steps to get an ID? Would that be a r****t statement?

How can this be considered r****t? Doesn't everyone have to show ID or is it just b****s? Whats the big deal?
I guess the illeagals would be banned from v****g without an ID.
Show your ID and v**e.

Georgia should tell MLB, to keep on going and don't ever come back.

The snow-job of the Democrats obscures their actual motive here. The Democrats fear that requiring a picture ID to v**e will likely result in fewer Democratic v**es for the Democrat party. Little else makes sense in the fevered objections of the Democrats here. They continue to mischaracterize the purpose of the improvements in the Georgia v**er law. So we read the cries of "Jim Crow" and r****m thrown against the law. Scant objective assessment of the actual text of the law furthers the misdirection of the Democrat propaganda machine. The leadership of the sports teams shows a kneejerk response to this manipulation.

Don’t exaggerate and miss characterize the law by the statement
“”” The law calls for picture ID to v**e.MLB does not approve of this change.
“””

While the law call for a photo ID it is much much more than that and MLB never said any such thing.. I smell a lie


“”” It’s a potpourri of odious measures designed to make it harder for Georgians to v**e and register, and easier for fringe groups to challenge their registration. It criminalizes “line-warming” or offering food and water to individuals waiting to v**e, a practice that has become popular as the Georgia GOP has dramatically reduced the number of polling places over the past 10 years, increasing the amount of time v**ers — especially v**ers in mostly black precincts — must wait in line to cast their b****t.


And

It also bans third-party groups from sending absentee-b****t applications to v**ers, and ends the use of portable polling sites, like the mobile v****g buses used in Democratic Fulton County last cycle. “””

Removing v****g safeguards are the new 'Joe Crow' laws to cancel and dilute responsible people's v**es.

Fotoartist Loc: Detroit, Michigan

Yeah, so what? Those provisions exist and are even more strict in over 30 other states including NY and Delaware.

This citizen has not closely followed this hotbed matter, because of so much of the usual onesideness and emotionalism minus facts and information, all aided and abetted by the news media workers.

One thing, however, remains fairly clear: From now on, v**ers must present a valid government ID in order to qualify to v**e.

Presenting an ID for so many other activities has made this v**er requirement essentially a trivial step of modern life in America. The widespread requirement of an ID renders moot the accusations of r****m and Jim Crow against the Georgia law. It seems only an attempt to regularize the v****g process.

No food or water for those waiting in line is a “ safeguard”??

Bull!!!

Would the simple solution be to have mobile vans/buses go into locales where there are few public t***sit options? They could provide ID cards to people in need? V**er ID makes sense but let's not use the reasonable requirement to disenfranchise people who can't get to a government office.

FALSE: "No food or water for those waiting in line is a 'safeguard'??"

ACCURATE: The new law prevents political workers from distributing food and water. But others may do so.

DennyT Loc: Central Missouri woods

Yeah . So what difference does it make who the food or water comes from.

Dumb
