As baseball's All-Star festivities begin tonight in Denver, a new political attack ad is hoping to remind viewers that the game was once supposed to be held in Georgia.
The commercial, paid for by the National Senate Republican Committee, hearkens back to the spring, when outcry mounted over a new restrictive voting law engineered by Republican lawmakers in Georgia. Corporations — including Major League Baseball — came under intense pressure to speak out against it.
The MLB's All-Star Game, which had been scheduled to take place at the Atlanta Braves' stadium just outside of Atlanta, fell under the heat of the spotlight. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced in April it would be relocated to Denver.

Well, Georgians did it to themselves by electing fruitcake insurrectionist supporters.

Oh please do it. This is going to backfire hard when people so much as look at why this happened.

The new voting laws passed in several states don’t restrict anyone from voting! They are working to make voting better and less chance of voter fraud! Look at the audits in AZ. and GA. especially in the 2 most most populated counties in the state! If the voting rights bill is passed in US Senate it will be the end of fair and impartial voting in this country! The flood of illegals into this country will be able to vote! If don’t believe that this administration is shredding the document we swore to protect, then maybe you not a keeper of your oath!
