All Star Game in Detroit in 2021?

If you don't use dirty tactics to suppress mainly the voters of color, the game would have stayed there. Very simple. GOP is just mad because Georgia turned blue over allegations of voter fraud. It's nonsense perpetuated by the former president.

Specifically, what "dirty tactics to suppress mainly the voters of color" are being utilized? A recent AP-NORC poll shows that 72% of Americans were in favor of requiring photo ID to vote including a slim majority of Democrats. Did Georgia's legislature make it difficult or expensive to obtain a photo ID?https://twitter.com/AP/status/137795...256326/photo/1

Again, MLB is punishing Atlanta from its stadium groundskeepers to its hotel workers and owners by taking away between $30-90M of revenue. Maybe the game should be awarded to Beijing where MLB, Coca-Cola, Hunter Biden and Delta all make money.

More phony outrage from people who don't even watch baseball or the all-star game, much less actually attend one? Just because Fox News says you should be outraged?

And Coca-Cola, Delta, et al, are making money in China because Republicans wanted China opened to American business. And when Democrats cried foul about shipping jobs overseas, Republicans schooled us on how it would be "good" for the US economy to expand our customer base, and good for America to build a Chinese middle class which would help democratize China, and good for the American consumer to get goods made cheaper, and if it affected your job, you should have "expanded your skill set" to make yourself more marketable in the new world economy, and all that bullshit.

The new law in Georgia introduces new impediments to voting, reducing the number of drop boxes in heavily African American areas and allows the state to intervene to assert control over the conduct of elections in Democratic counties. It shortens the time available for absentee votes and introduces new registration requirements that campaigners say are designed to target Black voters. Dirty politics...

Detroit is not getting an All Star Game forget it. It may goes to Chicago, L.A. San Francisco, Miami or Tampa Bay. MLB is seeking warm areas and less COVID-19 shutdowns.

But I'm glad that MLB left Hot-Lanta due to Georgia's Republican Confederate rise of Jim Crow's voting laws.

Oh really...?

...MLB is seeking...less COVID-19 shutdowns...

Hmmm, I guess that eliminates Chicago, San Francisco and LA then...

Please post one item of the voting law in Georgia that has any resemblance of any Jim Crow Law. Even the Washington Post gave Sleepy Joe four pinocchio’s for that whopper.
