Support overarching federal election legislation that would supersede state-level restrictions.

Evidence
Balint and Welch hosted a roundtable with Vermont election officials to defend free and fair elections. The office said the Vermont Congressional Delegation opposes President Trump’s voting-related executive orders and Republicans’ Save America Act, which it says would make registration and voting harder.
Balint’s official democracy page says she is committed to expanding access to the ballot box by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Assessments
Balint has used her federal office to publicly support broad federal voting-rights protections, including the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and to oppose federal/state-level voting restrictions. That is meaningful same-term effort toward the promised policy direction. However, the provided evidence does not show that overarching federal election legislation superseding state-level restrictions was enacted, nor does it establish that Balint sponsored or materially advanced a successful federal bill. Because the core nationwide legislative outcome remains undelivered, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
