Opinions on the law can differ, it is undeniable the reason for the change of venue.
It’s not based on the law, it’s based on lies about the law. Several newspapers and media outlets have had to walk back on their claims. I am waiting for Mr. Unity, Joe Biden, to do the same.

MLB requires ID to pick up tickets but are against it to ensure a secure election. I guess their ticket policy is racist?

I don’t know what the left believes but I believe minorities are economically damaged in many ways in America today and just how much is now front and center. With this spotlight, I’m hoping some better policy decisions come about. I am more focused on the country than one particular state. I understand stacey’s perspective is as a georgian.

That's why Stacey Abrams is now begging corporations to NOT boycott GA. The left really f-ed up on this. As usual, they didn't think through the consequences of their actions.

When will you understand the US Constitution's requirements for federal elections? How many times can I post these facts before you finally understand them?

I don’t count blacks as the only minority. Neither did Stacey. I understand that that is the specific group you are most interested in raising the economic status. That is fine, everyone is interested in their own demographic first.

Yep. Way to hurt the very folks you claim to be advocating for. If she manages to chase off Coke, Delta, the movie folks, or any others it is going to get just as ugly for her as it is Kemp, if not uglier. I think that was finally explained to her.

So why deliberately make that economic damage worse, as the MLB is doing and as Stacy Abrams acknowledged?

Just as religion should be kept out of politics, politics should be kept out of business. And yes, professional (and college) sports are business.
