Congress.gov lists H.R.14 as introduced on 2025-03-05, referred to the House Judiciary Committee, with status only at step 1, Introduced. The CRS summary says the bill would establish new preclearance criteria before certain voting-practice changes may take effect.

Current official status shows the main 119th Congress voting-rights bill remains pending and has not become law, so the broad voting-rights commitment is not delivered in the current term.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Pocan, Mark [D-WI-2] as a cosponsor of H.R.14 on 2025-03-05. The page reports 218 current cosponsors, including 216 original cosponsors.

Pocan took concrete current-term action by cosponsoring the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025, but cosponsorship alone has not delivered the promised protection nationally.

Congress.gov states the SAVE Act requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. It lists the bill as passed by the House, 220-208, on 2025-04-10 and received in the Senate the same day.

The official bill summary and status show a current-term federal voting-registration measure remained pending in the Senate after House passage, relevant to whether voting access was protected or restricted.

The House Clerk records Roll Call 102 on 2025-04-10 as passage of the SAVE Act, 220 yeas to 208 nays. The member list records Pocan, Democratic, Wisconsin, voting Nay.

Pocan voted against the SAVE Act, a concrete current-term vote related to federal voter-registration requirements. The bill still passed the House, so this is effort rather than delivery.

The House Clerk records Roll Call 260 as passage of H.R.4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, 219 yeas to 212 nays on 2021-08-24. The member list records Pocan, Democratic, Wisconsin, voting Yea.

Pocan previously voted for House passage of a major voting-rights bill restoring Voting Rights Act protections, showing serious legislative effort, though not final enactment.

The Senate roll-call page records a cloture vote on the motion to concur in the House amendment to H.R.5746 on 2022-01-19. The required threshold was three-fifths; the vote result was Cloture Motion Rejected, 49 yeas to 51 nays.

The Senate rejection shows the broader voting-rights package was blocked before enactment, explaining why Pocan's House-side efforts did not fully deliver the commitment as federal law.
