Major League Baseball announced Friday that this year’s All-Star Game and MLB draft will be relocated out of Atlanta in response to Georgia’s new voting law, saying it fiercely "opposes restrictions to the ballot box." "I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft." "Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box," he continued. President Biden said in an interview with ESPN this week that he would "strongly support" the July 13 game being relocated in response to the law that he called "Jim Crow on steroids." The recently enacted law places new restrictions on voting by mail, adds voter ID requirements and limits ballot drop boxes.
