As of December 24, 2025, USPS changed how postmarks work. The date stamped on your mail may no longer reflect the day you dropped it off or put it in the mailbox. Instead, it now reflects the date your mail is first processed at a regional sorting facility (i.e. Atlanta) which could be a day or even several days later.

The House also passed the SAVE and Protect America Act (H. Con. Res. 113), a budget framework that directs House committees to begin writing legislation to support military readiness, strengthen the food supply, and advance election-integrity safeguards. Only American citizens should decide American elections. Showing identification is a basic safeguard that strengthens confidence in election results.
Assessments
The promise was an oversight commitment to continue monitoring Postal Service and election-security issues in Georgia, not a pledge to enact a specific statutory result. The evidence shows Allen remained in federal office after the 2020 campaign and took direct later-term oversight actions: leading Georgia Republican delegation correspondence to USPS about absentee-ballot processing and Georgia mail delays, intervening on a Georgia USPS contract postal unit issue, and voting/commenting on election-integrity legislation. These actions materially match the promised monitoring and intervention within his federal representative role. Because the strongest documented actions occurred in later Congresses after the 2020 term, timing is later_term.

Because these actions occurred after the 2020 campaign term but while he remained in the same federal office, they count as later-term delivery. The effort badge is warranted because the record shows concrete oversight and legislative activity rather than only public messaging.
