MLB Moves Its All-star Game out of Georgia

Kudos to Major League Baseball for moving its All-Star game out of Georgia, in response to Georgia's efforts at voter suppression. The other major North Amercian team sports have All-Star games that are pretty much of a joke, but baseball's All-Star game has always been something special, so this move is significant.

Also due kudos are the Atlanta-based companies Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola for speaking out against the voter suppression efforts.

There is an ongoing attack on our democracy led by Republican forces who fear that they can't win an election if every eligible voter is allowed to vote. The restrictions on voting are seemingly endless, and these efforts must be resisted at every opportunity, else our precious democracy will be no longer.
