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
