Georgia Governor: Loss of All-Star Game Will Hurt Minorities

Published

GEORGIA — Georgia’s Republican governor has stepped up his attack on Major League Baseball’s decision to pull this summer’s All-Star Game from the state in response to a sweeping new voting law.

Critics say it’s the voting law that will disproportionately affect communities of color.

The measure _ signed by Kemp last month _ expands weekend early voting, but includes strict identification requirements for absentee ballots, limits the use of ballot drop boxes and makes it a crime to hand out food or water to voters waiting in line.
