MLB requires photo ID to pick up tickets from Will Call but boycotts Georgia.

That's because Atlanta is The Braves...

Well, let's see. Seating is limited in most MLB ballparks making tickets even more of a hot item than they were pre covid. To deter theft and scalpers there has to be some way to prove who you are. As opposed to Georgia, MLB is NOT asking people for the last four digits of their social security numbers to get in. This idea on Georgia's part is quite illegal as SSN are NEVER meant to ID people aside from tax forms and banking processes. So Georgia is violating the law yet SOMEHOW MLB which is obeying the law is "just the same." You really want to chose THAT hill as your last stand?

How do you pickup tickets from where exactly?

Where did you get your talking points from?

That was the policy well before Covid...

The SSN might not have been designed as an ID as such,
but it has gradually come to be that. Everything you apply for
pretty much requires your SSN. You have to show your picture ID
for a lot of things that you do in life, like purchasing alcohol.
Is that more important than protecting the vote?
Do Democrats not drink?

Why is it that Democrats are the ones up in arms
over protecting the vote from fraud?

Do they rely upon fraud???

What is galling is the notion that POC are too st-st-st-stupid
(or are prohibited by white law) to acquire a picture ID to vote.

I had no problem getting one.

Requesting and returning a ballot will also require new ID rules: either your driver's license number, state ID number or, if you don't have those, a copy of acceptable voter ID. The law also allows for applications to be returned online, after the Secretary of State's office launched an online request portal using your driver's license number or state ID number ahead of November's general election.

Poll workers will use that information, plus your name, date of birth and address, to verify your identity, and you will sign an oath swearing that everything is correct. This is a change from recent procedure that would check your signature on the application with those on file.

State and local governments are no longer allowed to send unsolicited applications, and third-party groups that send applications have new rules to follow, too. Their applications must be clearly marked as being "NOT an official government publication" that it is "NOT a ballot," and must clearly state which group is sending the blank request.

Plus, third-party groups are only allowed to send applications to voters who have not already requested or voted an absentee ballot. The groups potentially face a penalty for each duplicate sent.

That source has PBS in its banner.

The actual absentee ballot and envelopes will look different, as well. SB 202 requires absentee ballots to be printed on special security paper, and your precinct name will now be included along with precinct ID printed at the top. Once you fill out your choices by filling in the circles for your choices, you will place it in an envelope that will have your name, signature, driver's license or state ID number (or last four digits of your Social Security number) and date of birth. The envelope will be designed so that sensitive personal information will be hidden once it is sealed.

Sounds like an effort to include everyone to me...

Sure. It has nothing at all to do with racists administering driver’s tests, or racists revoking licenses.

Is "Racists" the Democrat answer to every question?



Do you approve of the move to Colorado?

I mean, their voter laws are
more restrictive.




You have to show ID to vote. Can you imagine?

Maybe they should hold the game in Havana...

*chuckle*

"Like the State of Georgia’s voter ID requirement, PayPal, MLB, United Airlines, and Uber also require identification to use their services. PayPal, for example, requires an ID to confirm their customers’ identity, and United Airlines demands an ID to book a flight. Uber also conducts an ID check before individuals may participate in their ride-sharing platform, while the MLB asks for ID at will call ticket windows."

Imagine how you would feel to lose your driver’s license in late October of an election year. Your tune might just change.

Just fling everything at the wall and hope something sticks...



Do you understand the term "provisional ballot?"

You will never win an argument against willful ignorance. There is nothing unreasonable about Georgia's voting laws, their argument is nothing more than the left exercising their love to categorize conservatives as racist. WANNABE Governor Stacey Abrams shot her mouth off before thinking about the consequences of her dumbass rhetoric and is now suffering a big well deserved black eye. The left again delivering pain and suffering to POC in the name of racial equity.

One of the wokemisters will be here soon to brand you a racist. Shall we take bets on who it will be?

Rory got it wrong, MLB is now being boycotted by tens of millions of Americans over its attempt to use economic terrorism to intimidate elected officials on specific legislation.

MLB is the one suffering. Get woke, go broke.

How will you know what to think if you're boycotting Fox which broadcasts MLB games?
