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

i'm edward lawrence talking in atlanta talking about georgia law. they want law i makers to listen to one other. some like the law. some doesn't leak the waa. they should allow people all the way up to the polling site door, not 150 feet away. they hope the national attention will push people to change the law. >> people listen to respond, not listen to actually understand. i'm not saying that one side or the other is going to be completely happy with everything that is done but a think a lot more listening can be done. reporter: others agree with the law it actually expands voting by adding 17 days of early voting, including both weekend days. yesterday we were at manuel's tavern that almost went under after 65 years of business during the pandemic. the community rallied to save the tavern. overall the law is not bad but reaction to the law has been disappointing. >> we're manuel's tavern. so much happened in that little tavern between all the different groups that wanted to get stuff done. they all got together, over a beer, made it happen. we're

hallie. >> blayne alexander live for us in atlanta. thank you. >>> we will take you back live now to minneapolis where day four of the derek chauvin trial in the murder of george floyd is now beginning. we understand the prosecution has called their next witness, courtney ross. we will listen in. the judge, by the way, saying this trial is running ahead of schedule. it looks like they may take tomorrow afternoon off because of that. here we go now live in day four of this trial. >>> good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm good. right up here shall and if you just stand behind the chair to start with. excellent. raise your right-hand, please. do you swear or affirm under penalty of perjury that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth and nothing but the truth? >> i do. >> have a seat. >> before we begin, well, you anticipated my first request, which is to keep your mask off. it is easier to hear you. if you feel the need to put it back on, feel free. >> thank you. >> the important thing is we be able to hear you. what we're

park, home of the atlanta braves and until this year home to this year's all-star game. now he's among dozens of disappointing businesses facing financial loss with mlb moving the game georgia taking a stand against the state's new voting law and tens of millions of dollars in tourist revenue. >> i understand why they're doing it but it's still frustrating as far as the small business owner, it's kind of hard to try to maintain and bring customers in because of the pandemic. >> the game is now heading west to denver and critics point out to a city where a very different demographic. in denver, black ownership is less than 10%. the pandemic has already taken a disproportionate toll on black businesses. now for many this is another crushing blow. >> it's unfortunate to know those who may be hurt by the legislation would also continue to be hurt by us not supporting our economy here. >> reporter: ryan maloof, who owns a restaurant in downtown atlanta, is worried about the lasting impact. >> it's a trickledown effect. we're just trying to get back to a normal sense of busine

atlanta is majority african american and yet yet major league baseball decides to punish atlanta. it doesn't make sense. they are so inconsistent whatever they do. i agree with you, if you are going to do this, do it to every state, be fair to everybody but they don't want to go that route. this is a gift, political gift to the republican party in georgia. i think brian kemp has done a very good job. he has been very even-handed on this, as has the state legislature. this was not some bill dropped overnight. it was debated over the entire legislative session. they knew about it. everyone was invited to the table. elizabeth: got it. biden and democrats are accused of misleading, bullying and pulling down atlanta with a phony, with the boycott based on a phony racism charge. like the major league baseball and companies and democrats don't know what they're talking about. they didn't even read the georgia voting law. you got president obama calling for baseball and companies to boycott georgia. remember when obama sat next to raul castro in communist cuba to watch a baseball game in

that will hurt a lot of black workers in atlanta. what do you think. >> its way to hurt a lot of families and georgia. when you thing about this, about jim crow on steroids there is no place for politics and name-calling in baseball or business. i don't think it's appropriate, the president misspoke at the very least and he should apologize frankly, it was unfair, ridiculously of what he made. if the president of the united states someone around him should've been helping them. liz: 35 states in dozens of countries have voter id including canada and france but a lot of leading coverage of this let's listen to chris christie go after democrat stacey abrams for hypocrisy on this. watch this. >> stacey abrams was in new jersey in my state praising phil murphy this week for a voting law were new jersey early voting is nine days, half of what georgia is, yet she is on tv in new jersey, i saw it myself say this is one of the greatest voting expansions was ever seen but this is jim crow. liz: what did you think of that. >> chris christie st

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

to boycott the mlb and other, quote, woke companies after the league pulled its all-star game out of atlanta over the state's new voting restrictions. >> good morning, everyone. it is saturday, april 3rd. i am kendis gibson. >> i'm lindsey reiser. happy to have you with us on this saturday. we have a team of reporters and analysts following the latest right now. we are going to start in washington where those flags are at half-staff. authorities investigating that deadly attack that happened hours ago at the u.s. capitol yet. vaughn hilliard, good morning. what more do we know about not only the officer who passed away, but the officer who is wounded? >> reporter: yeah, good morning. we are finding out more this morning. you can see behind me the scene here is cleared up. the gate, that fencing that was opened yesterday where the two officers were struck, that fencing is here closed as of this morning. the metropolitan capital police department as well as the fbi are continuing their investigation in which they say noah green, the suspect involved here, drove his car through that first layer

today the mlb announced it's moving the all star game from atlanta. where do you stand on this? do you welcome that move? >> listen, our actions have consequence. we've said for months now that voter suppression is bad for business. we said it directly to corporations and what you're seeing now is american voters who are voting with their dollars, that we've not seen a retraction, a retrenchment, we've seen republican legislatures across the country double down, that there are -- there's been a 43% increase in the number of anti-voting bills in legislatures across the country. i maintain that this is one of, if not the central organizing issue for the gop in this moment. the white lash that we are living through, that we are experiencing as a result of elevated voter participation has been severe, and it's been widespread, and that's why we're suing, and that's why we're calling on congress to pass hr 1 and hr 4 because fighting this piecemeal state by state by state is inefficient -- >> exactly. >> -- and we don't have time. there are municipal elections that are coming up this
