After President Joe Biden called Georgia's new voting law "Jim Crow on steroids," Major League Baseball pulled their annual All-Star Game from Georgia and moved it to Colorado, which has remarkably similar voting laws. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about this Fox News' Peter Doocy, and denied the similarity.
"Is the White House concerned that Major League Baseball is moving their All-Star Game to Colorado where voting regulations are very similar to Georgia?"
"Well, let me just refute the first point you made," Psaki stumbled. "First let me say, on Colorado. Colorado allows you to register on election day. Colorado has voting by mail, where they send to 100 percent of people in the state who are eligible application to vote by mail. 94 percent of people in Colorado voted by mail in the 2020 election. And they also allow for a range of materials to provide even if they vote on election day for the limited number of people who vote on election day.
"I think it's important to remember the context here," Psaki said. "The Georgia legislation is built on a lie. There was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Georgia's top Republican election officials have acknowledged that repeatedly in interviews. And what there was, however, was record-setting turn out, particularly by voters of color.
"So instead, what we're seeing here is in—for politicians who didn't like the outcome they're not changing their policies to win more votes, they're changing the rules to exclude more voters, and we certainly see the circumstances as different.
"But ultimately, I'm sorry let me just add one more thing, it's up to Major League Baseball where they're holding their All-Star Game."
