As soon as news broke that Colorado would host Major League Baseball s 2021 All-Star Game, critics angered over MLB s decision to pull the game from Georgia over provisions in a recently signed voting law piled on, taking to social media to make a case that Colorado s system was no better than Georgia s. The Wokes are at it again, folks, tweeted Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who pointed out that both states have voter ID requirements but that Georgia permits early voting for 17 days while Colorado sets aside just 15 days.
Using a bevy of Twitter abbreviations, Scott argued, MLB was moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta, even though Georgia has more voting days than Colorado, even under the revised law Georgia adopted last month.

A Gateway Pundit article falsely saying that “simple math” shows Biden fraudulently claimed 13 million illegitimate votes confuses the number of registered voters for the Voting Eligible Population to reach unsupported conclusions.

The article can be seen here and cites a tweet (here) by former National Security Agency (NSA) official Bill Binney who wrote, in part: “With 212Million registered voters and 66.2% voting,140.344 M voted. Now if Trump got 74 M, that leaves only 66.344 M for Biden. These numbers don’t add up to what we are being told. Lies and more Lies!” The article says Binney’s tweet is proof that “more people voted in the 2020 election nation-wide than were eligible to vote.”
