Ken Blackwell: Court Ordering MLB All-Star Game Back to Atlanta ‘Would Be a Win-Win for Everyone’
Ken Blackwell, former mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio, told Breitbart News on Friday that a court order for Major League Baseball (MLB) to return its All-Star Game to Atlanta “would be a win-win for everyone.” The MLB rescheduled its All-Star Game — moving it from Atlanta to Denver — following Georgia’s enactment of election laws in March. Dubbed the “Election Integrity Act of 2021,” the bill implements voter ID requirements across all methods of voting. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred acknowledged the political motivation of his decision, saying it was “the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport.” He added, “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box.”
