Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took the MLB to task on Saturday, a day after it announced it would be moving its 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta, Georgia, in protest of the state's new election regulations.
A newly passed state law requires voters to provide a driver's license or state identification when voting via absentee ballot, expands early voting for primary and general elections, and adds additional security measures to ballot drop boxes.
Democrats have been outspoken against the new law, insisting — without any evidence at all — that the new law restricts voters' rights.
In very clear sentiments, the Republican lawmaker tweeted, "Your sports league might be a little too woke if it will freely do business with Communists in China and Cuba, but boycotts a US state that wants people to show an ID to vote."
At the time of this reporting, the senator's tweet has received more than 50,000 likes.
