Tony Clark, executive director of the MLBPA, is asking the MLB to consider pulling the All-Star game out of Georgia.

Major League Baseball opted to transfer this year's All-Star game away from Atlanta, Georgia. The reasoning given was that it was a stand against Georgia's governor signing Senate Bill 202 into law. The claims circulating in the media are that the law is a form of voter suppression.

Nothing in this situation makes any sense to me, and I find it to be completely ridiculous.

First, even if SB202 does contain voter suppression, that doesn't have jack shite to do with baseball. Why should MLB punish Georgians and Braves fans because of something their government did? It's like punishing the entire class over the misbehavior of just one or two bad students.

Second, I'm not even convinced that SB202 is qualifiable as "voter suppression." I'm especially open to changing my mind on this second point because I don't know diddly squat about politics or law. However, most of the arguments I've heard online, so far, have been disappointing...

1. One argument is that SB202 is the Georgia government's response to the insane voter fraud conspiracy theories that emerged after the 2020 election. Since Georgia is a swing state whose election results were contested, this argument is plausible. But it's also a massive red herring*.* That doesn't automatically imply that SB202 is voter suppression.
2. Another argument is that SB202 restricts food and water from being handed to people in longer voting lines, which will discourage them from showing up. This also seems to be a poor argument because we also have this law in my state; its purpose, as far as I can tell, has been to prevent campaigners from harassing voters in longer lines.

I looked through SB202 and didn't find anything that stood out to me as being seriously problematic. Perhaps I missed something, though. Maybe someone could explain to me a) why SB202 is in fact qualifiable as "voter suppression," and b) why it should have anything to do with baseball.

Politics is a topic that I avoid like the plague because the sheer nonsense of it all frustrates me to no end. Nevertheless, thanks for hearing me out on this one. I await to be better informed.

EDIT: A great [New York Times article](https://www.nytim

Georgia flipped the Senate to Democrats, but that isn't enough. It never is for progressives.
