Evidence
The homepage's current priority section says Norcross is focused on 'Safeguarding Democracy at Home and Abroad' and describes him as committed to protecting the right to vote and ensuring the integrity of elections. The page also shows recent latest updates centered on other matters, with no specific voting-rights or campaign-finance legislative action in the current update list.
Norcross said he supported H.R. 1 because it would 'implement campaign finance reform' and 'restore trust in our public institutions,' and the release says he voted to pass the bill, which included voting-rights, anti-corruption, ethics, and dark-money provisions.

Assessments
Norcross materially supported major federal democracy reform efforts, including voting for H.R. 1 and H.R. 4, which addressed voting rights and campaign-finance reforms. However, the key measures passed only the House or stalled after introduction/referral and did not become federal law, so the promised outcome was not delivered. The record supports serious effort, not fulfillment.
Norcross supported and voted for H.R. 1, a major House democracy-reform package that included campaign-finance and voting-rights provisions, so he made a serious federal legislative effort toward the promise. However, the evidence does not show that campaign finance reform or expanded voting rights were enacted into federal law as a result. Current official-site language keeps the issue as a priority rather than documenting delivery. Under the rule for serious attempts that failed to deliver the promised outcome, this is not fulfilled but earns an effort badge.
