On May 7, 2026, Balint hosted a roundtable on election integrity with Vermont officials to defend free and fair elections, and the delegation said it opposes voting-related measures that would make it harder to register and vote.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is a concrete recent action consistent with Balint's pro-voting-rights stance, but it does not show enactment of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act or restoration of preclearance.

Balint fulfilled the promise to support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025, during her current House term. The bill itself has not become law or restored federal preclearance requirements, but the promise was framed as supporting the Act, not single-handedly enacting it. Her later public statements and voting-rights activity are consistent with that position.
