(House Television via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, let me say we\u2019re awfully proud of the Braves fans. It was a good night for Georgia, and in a lot of regards, but you know, it looks like\u2026 karma caught up with Major League Baseball,\u201d Ferguson told Breitbart News. \u201cAnd, you know, they, they caused some real harm\u2026 robbing our citizens of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, job opportunities, economic opportunities for small businesses. But, you know what, we got the big prize we got we got the trophy. We got the World Series, three nights of the World Series is pretty doggone good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think\u2026 they\u2019re like a lot of folks and are having a hard time explaining their position,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson said that, despite the MLB\u2019s opposition to Georgia\u2019s election integrity bill, which made it easier to vote and installed more voter integrity provisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can look at the Georgia law, any which way you want to, but the truth of the matter is we made it\u2026 easier to vote and harder to cheat. And, listen, fighting for fair elections\u2026 with integrity is something that we should always be doing. We should be fighting\u2026 We need to continuously improve and\u2026 make it more and more secure and easier to vote. So, I think that Republicans in the state of Georgia will continue down this path,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
