Flanked by supporters, Kemp doubles down of defense of Georgia election law following All-Star Game fallout The governor spoke at the Georgia State Capitol flanked by backers of the new Georgia election reform law. Author: Adrianne M Haney, Christopher Buchanan Published: 10:55 AM EDT April 3, 2021 Updated: 1:10 PM EDT April 3, 2021 ATLANTA A fired-up Gov. Brian Kemp continued his defense of the Georgia election reform law on Saturday, and continued to hit at the Major League Baseball s decision to move the 2021 MLB All-Star Game from Georgia. The July 2021 event - as well as the MLB Draft - was supposed to happen at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, in July, but the league s commissioner, Robert Manfred Jr., said the MLB made the decision to move both events from the Cobb County stadium after Kemp signed a controversial election reform bill into law.
