over half of the population in atlanta is black. the revenue loss from the all-star game going away could total more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue to the area according to one official. but when you're looking at the voting laws, the reason why mlb moved the game out of georgia to colorado, when you compare the two states, colorado has fewer days of early voting than georgia. 15 days to georgia's 17. both states require a valid i.d. to vote by mail and in person. they also both allow no excuse vote by mail. but politicians on the local level in georgia could be having the biggest impact on businesses that are choosing to take a political position on this. georgia house voted to strip delta, one of the outspoken corporations of millions of dollars in tax breaks. the georgia senate still has to weigh in on this before the bill potentially could land on the governor's desk for him to sign offer on. but the bottom line is, there can be consequences on the local level for these corporations. we also, david, did reach out to m

major league baseball moving the all-star game out of atlanta in protest. the republican governor calling it a cancel culture move. and there are some surprising reactions to boycotts from leading georgia democrats. abc's steve osunsami is in atlanta. >> reporter: it's a strong message tonight from major league baseball to republican lawmakers who just passed and signed new voting restrictions in georgia. baseball commissioner robert manfred jr. is siding with a good number of black americans and business leaders who believe that the new rules are voter suppression, saying, "i have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year's all-star game and mlb draft." >> major league baseball just caved to the pressure. >> reporter: this week the president came out encouraging this. >> i would strongly support them doing that. people look to them, they're leaders. >> reporter: but this is money and business we're talking about, and even many georgia democrats who fought the new rules are not happy with baseball's decisions.

it's atlanta as a whole. you can't take these extreme actions that limb the right to the access to vote when we have talked about expanding access with our democracy and not expect people like major league baseball will not take action in return. it's not too late for the legislature to go back and reconsider this. they are out of session. but the governor certainly can call a special session, have them reconsider this. make tweaks to it so it is truly a bill that expands access to the right to vote. but instead what i'm seeing on our local news is that the governor is doubling down, state leaders are doubling down. i think this is just the first of many dominos that will fall in this state. we're all going to suffer because of it. >> to be clear, you did tweet that you don't know the businesses and corporations and everybody that will suffer and it's not too late to right this sinking ship. and you got your vaccine. >> i did get my vaccine. it didn't hurt at all. i woke up the next morning without a sore arm

but it's quickly jerking into a embarrassment after moving the all-star game from atlanta to georgia over georgia supposedly voting rights laws the prominent colorado's voting rights law, awfully similar embarrassingly sober if you think the hypocrisy is good then pined to your batting thousand for the mlb is when the corporations have spoken out against the georgia laws which do sinister things like calling for voting id requirements. coca-cola, delta air lines, they are among them. early today senate majority said this whole situation is absurd. >> most type major league baseball is pretty important corporation. if they applied the same standard they apply to georgia, they could not have games in st. louis because missouri has a more restrictive voter law than georgia, then the new georgia law. what about the yankees? new york has a more restrictive voter participation law then they new georgia law. where is it at? so, my warning if you will to corporate america is to stay out of politics. >> gave big dumb dumb son let's go yankees by the staff and present biden responded to questi

just imagine taking a high-speed train chicago to atlanta. most americans wouldn't imagine doing that trip by rail and that's less than beijing and shanghai and they built the most popular high-speed rail line in the world. but just not chicago and atlanta but nashville, indianapolis, all these cities in between that have been left out of this next generation economy. that's why high-speed rail is so significant. yes, i'll be fighting for more but we'll take what we can get and be a start. >> i got to say having traveled orr in europe that's a wonderful high-speed rail from city to city and see the country that way so i applaud those efforts. let's talk about what senator mcconnell is saying about the plan generally. >> as much as we would like to address infrastructure, it is not going to get sun port from our side because i think what the economy -- the last thing the economy needs right now is a big whopping tax increase on all the productive sections of our economy. >> with that no support approach from republicans is this plan going to h

now that you have joe biden even claiming that it may be good for the all-star game to move out of atlanta, here is the question i have, who does that help? who does the boycotts help with this not help the georgians who plan to work that event, maybe the hospitality industry that they're going to make up some losses financial losses they had during covid, there is a reason even stacy abrams came out and said these boycotts are harming the people they say they're trying to help. i don't understand the game plan other to say this is a long push for changes on a lateral level federal level hr when i think that's with her ultimate pushing for. before you invoke the phrase of old which is worse than jim crow. jim porro on steroids which is historically illiterate. so kevin i want to come to you. i understand you probably do not support the law, but shouldn't president biden not lie about the law? he was last week in a press conference making statements about what was in this legislation involving what he said was curtailing boating hours on voting day to target workers. it turned out that was

the atlanta mayor is also speaking out against the law today. we've got both aspects covered by nbc's deepa who's covering from atlanta. let's talk about what we heard from mayor keisha lance bottoms who also spoke about this earlier today. >> reporter: you're hearing from democratic and republican leaders about this very kofrl voting bill that was passed by the governor just a little over a week ago, one that really does restrict voting measures in this state, making it really difficult, particularly in the suburbs of this atlanta region, right, communities of color, largely black voters, asian voters, folks who are, you know, turning out in record numbers in this last election like we saw, especially in that special election earlier this year. now harder, essentially, to cast a ballot going forward, and what you're seeing is democratic lawmakers speaking out and kind of saying, you know, this is going to have financial impacts for the state as well and that's something we're already seeing with major league baseball pulling its all-star game o

he later got a call that mlb was moving the all-star game out of atlanta. today the white house is trying to distance itself from the blowback as more companies join in the boycott of this law but the white house and the president never took back any of the false claims they made about the law. today white house press secretary jen psaki would not say if the president regretted publicly supporting mlb's decision to boycott georgia? >> he would support that decision, that decision was made by major league baseball. just like he would support decisions made by private sector companies. we're not standing here, calling for companies to boycott. reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell saying today when it comes to politics he thinks businesses should mind their own business? >> don't do it. the other coca-cola, the other companies that basically responded to this partisan appeal are doing the same thing. you know republicans drink coca-cola too. and we fly. and we like baseball. if i were running a major corporation i would stay out of politics. report

jon ossoff saying, please don't take this game out of atlanta. we can do better keeping it here, drawing attention to it here. you had ralph warnock saying the same thing. does it seem inconsistent to you who this guy -- as marco rubio also said, he does business with communist china, he does business with cuba, he's -- he apparently didn't even read this bill before making this decision. doesn't it seem hypocritical of him to keep that membership at augusta but yank the all-star game out of atlanta when it's going to hurt middle class and working class georgians? >> joe, i think the key here is the separation between the financial interests and the culture war. so i think that when we're talking about the big corporations that have come into the spotlight because of the georgia voting bill, it's very easy to zero in on the mlb, the big corporations, the delta, the coca-cola. in terms of augusta, i'm going to agree with michael steele here. i do think that marco rubio can better frame it as a personal decision. this is not a corporation, this is

what's your view of mlb pulling the all-star game from atlanta? >> i think that is the kind of thing to expect to see when you actually create legislation that restricts or reduces the potential for people to vote opposed to expanding. this -- you know, the governor said, also, there were no issues with the election on january 5th or in november when the presidential election took place. but all of a sudden we have to put restrictions in place that limit the ability for people to vote and then you may even say if people happen to give individuals water for standing in line for long periods of time that that's illegal. there's something draconian and seriously wrong with what we are seeing. >> yeah. i think there's a lot that agree with that and including two black executives who called on companies to directly oppose the new georgia laws and some americans like american airlines, dell, delta, coca-cola put out statements for the first time i might add. do you think that public pressure played a role here. how much does it help after the law has pa

one, this is not a new dynamic in atlanta. atlanta is the home of the late hank aaron who we lost in january who if this track record is any indication would have had something to say about this voting law and it's not only the process it went through in the legislature but also the passage. he would have spoken out against that. so baseball is the sport where jackie robinson broke the color barrier. baseball is proud of that. atlanta is proud of being the city too busy to hate and there is a real question here as to whether or not the city is going to live up to that moniker now. companies like delta and coca-cola have long been part of what has made -- given atlanta that reputation, that made atlanta and georgia a place that's been able to point to southern neighbors and say we are not south carolina, we are not alabama. we are not mississippi. and now i think the confluence of atlanta and baseball given their kind of -- what they hold -- both of them holding themselves out to be markers of racial progress that confluence ha
