MLB Cancels More Than 60 Million All-Star Votes for Fear of Improper Voting

Major League Baseball has wiped out more than 60 million votes for the 2015 All-Star Game amid fears of improper voting techniques.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports the number of accepted votes is still greater than 300 million. Bob Bowman, the CEO of MLB Advanced Media, explained how the league handled the situation: "I'm not saying we bat 1.000. But it's between 60 and 65 million votes that have been canceled. We don't really trumpet it because if someone thinks they're getting away with it, they'll try to again."

The voting procedures have come under extra scrutiny this year with the Kansas City Royals completely dominating the projected American League lineup.
