Slotkin was a sitting federal officeholder and signatory on the September 2026 Senate letter demanding USPS answer the specific questions named in the claim, including legal authority, ballot verification, Federal Ballot Mail Portal operations, and court-order compliance. Because the promised action was to demand answers, not to secure a USPS policy change or response, the signed oversight letter satisfies the outcome during the same term.
