Atlanta lost Major League Baseball‘s (MLB) summer All-Star Game on Friday over the league’s objections to sweeping changes to Georgia voting laws that critics — including the CEOs of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola — have condemned as being too restrictive.

The law includes new restrictions on voting by mail and greater legislative control over how elections are run.
