States should only get federal grants if they require a voter ID to vote. We should also tighten restrictions on absentee voting, so that all votes are received by election day & signature verification is used to ensure voter fraud doesn’t occur.
Require voter ID for election-related federal grants and tighten absentee voting rules, including receipt by election day and signature verification.
Occurrences
Evidence
The office homepage’s Latest News section shows the most recent posted items are dated March 18, 2026, March 12, 2026, and February 27, 2026, with no election-related action or announcement listed in the current window through May 22, 2026.
Assessments
The promised federal outcome has not been delivered: there is no evidence that voter-ID conditions for election-related federal grants or the specified absentee-ballot restrictions have been enacted into federal law by May 22, 2026. McDowell did materially support related legislation in his current House term, including cosponsoring the SAVE Act / SAVE America Act measures, and at least one related House bill advanced past the House but remained unenacted. That qualifies as a serious legislative attempt, not fulfillment.
