Hoyle announced she introduced the Vote at Home Act, saying Oregon's vote-by-mail system is secure and that she would fight to protect and expand voter participation; the release says the bill expands vote-by-mail initiatives.

Hoyle took concrete legislative action to expand and defend vote-by-mail, but the bill was only introduced and referred to committee.

Congress.gov lists Hoyle as sponsor and shows the bill's latest action as referral to the House Committee on House Administration and Oversight and Government Reform, with status Introduced.

The main pro-vote-by-mail bill she introduced did not advance beyond introduction and committee referral.

The House roll call for H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, shows the bill passed 220-208 on April 10, 2025; Hoyle voted no on the underlying bill according to the roll-call record linked from the Clerk's vote pages.

Hoyle opposed a major federal voting-restrictions bill, which is consistent with the promise, but it did not stop the bill from passing the House.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Hoyle made concrete efforts consistent with the promise, including introducing the Vote at Home Act and voting against the SAVE Act. However, the cited pro-vote-by-mail legislation had only been introduced and referred to committee, and her opposition did not prevent the SAVE Act from passing the House. Because the promised outcome was to protect Oregon's vote-by-mail system from federal attacks, and the evidence shows attempts rather than successful protection, the promise was not delivered despite serious legislative effort.
