Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Today, Congressman Pat Harrigan (NC-10) voted in favor of the House amendment to S. 1383, legislation known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), which strengthens federal election safeguards by requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Following House passage, the House amendment to S. 1383 now returns to the Senate for further consideration before any final legislation can be sent to the President.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Harrigan publicly backed and voted for the House version of the SAVE Act, which would impose documentary proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal voter registration. The measure was not yet final law and had to return to the Senate, so this is concrete support for the promise but not full delivery.

Passed the House of Representatives April 10, 2025. Nothing in this Act ... may be construed to affect the exemption of a State from any requirement of any Federal law other than the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ... This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official House-passed text shows the SAVE Act advanced through the House, but it only becomes effective upon enactment, which indicates the policy goal had not yet been fully delivered into law.

House Roll Call 289 on H. Res. 1490 was agreed to on September 1, 2026, 220-192 with 2 present. The Clerk recorded Pat Harrigan, Republican of North Carolina, as voting Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Harrigan supported the latest House messaging action tied to SAVE America Act/election-integrity policy, but H. Res. 1490 was a nonbinding House resolution and did not itself pass enforceable election laws.

The Senate voted on cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 5271, a bill to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voters to provide photo identification. The result was rejected, 52 yeas to 46 nays, with three-fifths required.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A closely related federal voter-ID bill failed to clear Senate cloture, showing that the promised federal election-law changes remained blocked and were not enacted by the September 5, 2026 refresh.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

The promised outcome required passing enforceable election laws. Harrigan supported and voted for House actions advancing SAVE Act-style election-integrity and voter-ID policy, including House passage of related legislation and a later nonbinding resolution, but the cited measures did not become federal law. A related Senate cloture vote failed, leaving the promised statutory changes undelivered during the assessed term. Because Harrigan made a concrete legislative effort toward the promise but the outcome was not enacted, this warrants a never outcome with an effort badge rather than partial delivery.

Harrigan materially supported the SAVE Act by voting for House passage in his current federal term, and the bill aligns with the identification and election-integrity parts of the promise. But the evidence says the measure still required Senate action and enactment before becoming law, so the promised election-law changes were not actually passed into law. This counts as a serious legislative attempt, not delivery.
