Baseball Comes Cap in Hand to Atlanta
Major League Baseball is implicitly making amends to Atlanta with Tuesday's All-Star Game after moving the 2021 game in protest of Georgia election reforms. It's about time. In 2021 Georgia passed the Election Integrity Act, a package of common-sense measures to improve the voting process. The act expanded in-person early voting and codified the use of drop boxes for absentee ballots while limiting their number and establishing security rules. It shortened the absentee-ballot request period from six months to 11 weeks. It maintained the 29-day voter-registration period before an election—the amount of time before an election that voters must be registered to vote—the same or longer than 12 other states. It allowed people to bring food and water with them to their polling stations and take water from unattended receptacles. It set clear requirements for identification. It banned 'ballot harvesting,' in which people other than the voters themselves gather and submit absentee or mail-in ballots.
