Occurrences

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.

Assessments

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

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.
