Why aren’t voter laws federal? Voter rights can’t differ by state. What am I missing?

MLB has determined that playing baseball in Georgia endorses the new Georgia voter law, so will move the All Star game to a different state. Will the Braves be moving out of Georgia as well, or do they endorse this new law?

HAHAHAHAHAHA...that will teach em...Like anyone give a crap about an all star baseball game?

Suppression law? It’s a Protection Law. Looks like the MLB doesn’t care about the baseball fans in Georgia so why not just move the game to North Korea. Stay out of politics!!!!!!

'MLB moving All-Star game out of Georgia in response to voter suppression law' Really? Can you please explain to us who read the new Law EXACTLY which parts are suppressive? And to whom?

MLB moving All-Star Game from Georgia in response to new voting lawsMajor League Baseball has announced that this season's All-Star Game and draft will not be held in Atlanta in response to Georgia's recently passed laws that placed new restrictions on voting 🤮I’ve loved this sport my whole entire existence. Watching MLB has been a big part of my childhood memories. Today I was so disappointed in this decision and as a perineal attendee of spring training...MLB, I’m done with you. MLB Since Biden interfered in a contract between Atlanta and MLB and interference with a contract is a tort, Atlanta needs to sue Biden, the DNC, and the federal government for lost Revenue and other damages! Oh well it’s not American to suppress voting . so the price to pay for being un-American 🇺🇸 is you don’t get the benefits. Kinda suppressing your benefits ? how’s that for reality ? Just a thought
