The Kentucky Republican disputed the “Jim Crow” characterization, noting that Georgia’s law actually adds early voting days and hours.
In a statement last week, Ms. Abrams told supporters “please do not boycott us,” saying that minorities “are also the most likely to be hurt by potential boycotts of Georgia,” but Republicans say her incendiary statements about voter suppression and Jim Crow were responsible for the MLB exit.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, also appearing Monday on Fox’s “The Story” with Martha MacCallum, called it “the biggest flip-flop since John Kerry I have ever seen.”
“For someone that has been pressuring these corporations, pressuring Major League Baseball to now come out after the fact and say don’t boycott? People are getting screwed in this,” Mr. Kemp said.

All those efforts are rolled into a single bill set to clear the GOP-controlled state Senate a key marker in a campaign by Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott, to impose new restrictive measures over elections in America’s biggest red state.
