ATLANTA – The All-Star Game is back on in Georgia. But the conditions that caused its removal in 2021 have not changed.
In fact, voting expert rights say, conditions have only worsened for potentially disenfranchised voters.
The eyes of the baseball world will be on Truist Park in suburban Cobb County July 15, when Major League Baseball’s 95th All-Star Game is played, four years after the league moved the game in the wake of Georgia passing the Election Integrity Act. State Bill 202 rolled back voting by mail and other absentee ballot options and prohibited distribution of food and water to those standing in line to vote – actions that historically would have greatest impact on Black voters.
