A group of House Republicans requested documents from Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Robert D. Manfred related to the league’s decision to move its All-Star game out of Georgia due to the state’s new election integrity law.

In a Thursday letter, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), James Comer (R-Ky.), and Jody Hice (R-Ga.) asked Manfred to provide all documents and communications referring or relating to the relocation of the All-Star game from Jan. 1 to the present, as well as documents that examine election laws in Georgia, Colorado, New York, China, and Cuba.
