Trolling is defined as creating discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages in an online community. Basically, a social media troll is someone who purposely says something controversial in order to get a rise out of other users.

Got it?

Georgia GOP passes law that makes it harder to vote.

Delta CEO comes out against it.

Georgia GOP House passes amendment to repeal tax break that benefits Delta. Senate didn’t put it up for vote.

This is the new GOP.

MLB moves the draft/all star game out of GA.

Great article by NY Times walking the reader page by page through the actual bill:

What Georgia’s Voting Law Really Does
The New York Times analyzed the state’s new 98-page voting law and identified 16 key provisions that will limit ballot access, potentially confuse voters and give more power to Republican lawmakers.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/02/us/p ... d=tw-share

The 16 key provisions?

Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots.
There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots.
It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters.
Drop boxes still exist … but barely.
Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned.
Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones.
Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges.
If you go to the wrong polling place, it will be (even) harder to vote.
If election problems arise, a common occurrence, it is now more difficult to extend voting hours.
With a mix of changes to vote-counting, high-turnout elections will probably mean a long wait for results.
Election officials can no longer accept third-party funding (a measure that nods to right-wing conspiracy theories).
With an eye toward voter fraud, the state attorney general will manage an election hotline.
The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State Election Board.
The secretary of state is removed as a voting member of the State Election Board.
The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county election officials.
Runoff elections will happen faster — and could become harder to manage.

First of all, MLB NEEDS to stay out of politics. Shame on them.

Now on that list, there is some incomplete information. First, poll workers, and poll workers ONLY can hand out food and water to voters in line. The provision is designed to keep partisan individuals from interfering with the voters waiting to vote. Second, there was mischief involved with the voter drop boxes used in 2020, so the provision limiting them is to limit them to places where they can be monitored.

I believe it SHOULD be illegal to mail out unsolicited ballot applications of any type. If you're too damn lazy to ask for one, you do not deserve to vote.

Not sure about whether I agree of disagree about limiting time to request an absentee ballot.

ID's need to be required for all to vote. If you do not have an ID, you are already massively crippled in out society, as you cannot do many things.

Going to the wrong polling place should mean poll workers should direct you to the correct polling place. You should not be allowed to cast a ballot in the wrong precinct as that can affect local races.

why does MLB need to stay out of poltics but some crackpot pillow goof is ok?

Corporations have always been involved in politics, including the MLB, but just behind closed doors using lobbyists etc.

I anticipate more Corporations will go public with their stance after what we all witnessed the last four years. Corporations don’t want to see a Fascist Govt come to the US. Politicians and their parties won’t survive without funds and/or backing from Corporations.
