Majority of Georgians oppose moving of MLB All-Star Game from state: poll
Fox News
A solid majority of Georgians say they oppose Major League Baseball’s move to relocate this summer’s All-Star game from the state in response to a new and controversial voting measure recently passed by Republican state lawmakers and signed into law by GOP Gov. Brian Kemp.
Nearly 85% of Republicans and just over half of independents opposed the move, with nearly two-thirds of Democrats supportive of relocating the game, known as baseball’s "Midsummer Classic." Democrats and voting rights activists have decried the new law as a voter suppression measure and have compared it to the Jim Crow laws that for decades suppressed the ability of Blacks in the South to vote. Republicans have praised the bill for improving voter integrity, and argue that it doesn’t restrict the ability to cast a ballot.More Related News
