Or they think we re all idiots.
Major League Baseball has reportedly made the decision to host the 2021 All Star Game in Colorado after caving to pressure from the political Left to boycott Georgia after Georgia passed a new election security law, which included having to include a driver’s license number when voting by mail.
“Coors Field in Denver has been chosen to host this year’s All-Star Game,” ESPN reported. “It will mark the second time the homer-friendly home of the Colorado Rockies will host the Midsummer Classic. The American League beat the National League 13-8 at Coors in 1998.”

The 2021 baseball season isn t even a week old, and it s already over for some fans. Why? Because, as
National Review s Andrew McCarthy so efficiently put it: the Left ruins everything. Sports, entertainment, toys, snack cakes, you name it. Their wokeness is a cancer, and it s taking every enjoyable, unifying, non-political piece of American life and destroying it. In Georgia, their crusade against the state s election law is built on a house of lies. And for once, GOP leaders aren t letting them get away with it.

MLB made the announcement Tuesday. Four days ago, commissioner Rob Manfred pulled the Midsummer Classic from Atlanta in the wake of Georgia’s recently-passed voting rights law.
The idea of moving the game was pitched almost two weeks ago by MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark. Among the items contained in the legislation, per the Washington Post:
Shrinks the window for early and absentee voting.
Outlines new voter ID requirements.
Limits the number of ballot drop boxes during early voting.
Gives state lawmakers more power over county and local elections.

The vast majority of U.S. likely voters believe voter ID is necessary and disagree with Major League Baseball’s (MLB) decision to pull the All-Star game and Draft from Atlanta over the state’s election integrity law, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday found.
The survey asked respondents if they believe voter ID laws are necessary to a “fair and secure election process.” The vast majority, 75 percent, said “yes,” 19 percent said “no,” and six percent said they remained unsure. A majority of both Republicans, 89 percent, and Democrats, 65 percent, believe voter ID laws are necessary for a free and fair election. Seventy-one percent of those unaffiliated with either major party agree.
