Major Mea Culpa From MLB

Will Rob Manfred apologize to the state of Georgia and its citizens? The commissioner of Major League Baseball announced Thursday that the annual All-Star Game will be held in Atlanta in 2025, two years after he moved the game from the city because of a controversial election law.What’s changed? Not the bulk of the law, the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which tightened up vote-by-mail and voter ID rules. Mr. Manfred at the time bowed to Democratic Party and media distortions about the law, which President Biden infamously called “Jim Crow 2.0.” Stacey Abrams, who had lost to Gov. Brian Kemp in 2018 but had refused in Donald Trump fashion to accept the result, also played the race card.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Sidney Powell Pleads Guilty in Trump’s Georgia Election Case

Updated Oct. 19, 2023 6:31 pm ETATLANTA—Sidney Powell, a lawyer who played a leading role in the effort to reverse Donald Trump’s election loss in 2020, cut a deal to testify against the former president and others who Georgia prosecutors allege engaged in a “criminal enterprise” to subvert democracy.A lawyer who was in Trump’s inner circle in the months after the November 2020 election, Powell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges Thursday in exchange for a sentence that avoids jail time. In open court, she admitted to orchestrating a scheme to access voting equipment in a rural Georgia county in hopes of substantiating conspiracy theories that voting machines were flipping votes.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
