Cornyn, Lee, Roy Introduce the SAVE America Act News Cornyn, Lee, Roy Introduce the SAVE America Act Commonsense Legislation Builds on SAVE Act by Requiring Proof of Citizenship & Photo ID to Vote February 2, 2026 WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) joined Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) in introducing the SAVE America Act, which would require individuals to present proof of citizenship when registering to vote as well as photo identification before voting in a federal election. The legislation would also ensure states appropriately maintain voter rolls by removing non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
The SAVE America Act requires Voter ID to vote in federal elections in addition to the original bill’s proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration. ... By requiring Voter ID and proof-of-citizenship, the SAVE America Act will ensure that our federal elections are decided by U.S. citizens—and U.S. citizens alone.
If one thing is abundantly clear from polling, it’s that there are a lot of Americans out there – of both parties – who find voter ID requirements and proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration to be pretty commonsense policies. ... And I don’t think it’s too burdensome to suggest that we require some of that same documentation for voting, to maintain the security of our elections.

Assessments
Fischer took concrete same-term steps to support the SAVE America Act: she publicly identified herself as a cosponsor and argued for its proof-of-citizenship and voter-ID provisions on the Senate floor. That satisfies the support portion of the promise and shows real legislative effort. But the official Congress.gov record in the provided evidence shows the bill did not reach final passage or enactment and remained stalled, so the broader promise to advance the measure into delivered policy was not fully achieved.
Deb Fischer did take concrete action in office to support the SAVE America Act: she was a cosponsor and publicly urged passage on March 25, 2026. But the strongest status evidence shows H.R. 7296 remained only introduced and referred, with no final House passage, Senate passage, or enactment listed as of May 20, 2026. In federal-office context, that means she clearly delivered on support and made a real legislative push, but there is not enough evidence that she materially advanced the measure to a completed policy outcome. That fits partial rather than full delivery.
Fischer appears to have fulfilled the support portion of the promise in office: she publicly advocated for the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor in March 2026 and described herself as a cosponsor, which is concrete legislative support and an attempt to advance the measure during her term. But the strongest official status evidence indicates the bill had not been enacted and, as of the cited Congress.gov record, remained only introduced and referred, with no final passage shown. Given that she took real action but did not deliver the bill’s policy outcome or show decisive legislative advancement to completion, the best judgment is partial rather than full delivery.
Deb Fischer publicly supported and cosponsored the SAVE America Act and spoke on the Senate floor urging proof-of-citizenship and voter-ID requirements, which is real legislative effort. But the cited congressional record and Congress.gov actions show the bill remained at the introduced/referred stage with no enacted result, so the promised policy outcome was not fully delivered. Because her contribution was direct but the outcome was not achieved, this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
The promised federal outcome was enactment or advancement into binding law of SAVE America Act requirements for proof of citizenship in voter registration and voter ID at polls. Current Congress.gov records for H.R.7296 show the bill was introduced and referred to the House Administration Committee on January 30, 2026, with status still 'Introduced' and no House passage, Senate passage, presidential action, or enactment. Evidence that Fischer cosponsored and spoke in support of the bill shows a concrete legislative effort, but not delivery. The Congressional Record claims of House passage appear inconsistent with Congress.gov's bill-status record and do not establish enactment. Because Fischer made a serious attempt but the policy outcome has not passed, this is not fulfilled, with an effort badge.
The promised outcome was to support and advance the SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and voter ID at polls. Fischer did publicly advocate for the bill and was identified as a cosponsor, which qualifies as a serious legislative effort. However, the bill has not delivered the promised policy outcome: Congress.gov lists H.R.7296 as introduced, with latest action on January 30, 2026 referral to the House Committee on House Administration, and no enactment or passage through both chambers. Conflicting evidence claiming House passage is outweighed by the current Congress.gov bill status and actions page.
Senator Deb Fischer supported and advocated for the SAVE America Act by cosponsoring it and speaking in favor of it on the Senate floor. The House passed the Act and sent it to the Senate, but there is no evidence that the Act ultimately passed both chambers or became law. While the candidate made a serious legislative effort in line with the promise, the outcome of requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and voter ID at election polls was not delivered.
Senator Deb Fischer supported and cosponsored the SAVE America Act, advocating for its passage and making public speeches endorsing its provisions, including proof of citizenship for voter registration and voter ID at the polls. However, there is no evidence that this legislation passed or that the requirements became law during the relevant term. The documented evidence shows serious legislative effort but not fulfillment of the promise's substance.
Senator Deb Fischer fulfilled her campaign promise to support and advance the SAVE America Act by cosponsoring the bill and speaking in favor of it on the Senate floor. However, there is no evidence that the legislation passed or that its policies were implemented. The bulk of the evidence points to significant debate and opposition, but not successful enactment. Given Fischer's documented legislative effort, but ultimate failure to achieve the outcome, the outcome is 'never' with an effort badge.
