MLB rumors: All-Star Game voting revamp could include Election Day

MLB reportedly wants to change its All-Star voting, centered on an Election Day of its own.

Here's how it would work, based on what sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan: Fans still would vote online this year, but the three players at every position (and in both leagues) with the most votes would be on the ballot the day of the All-Star election. Think of it as a political primary, albeit less important.

At that point, fans would have one day to vote for the starters at every position. There's no word yet whether the system would allow for early or absentee voting, but that probably won't be necessary, considering how fan bases mobilize on a dime to stuff the All-Star ballot box each and every year.
