Expand national vote-by-mail.
Occurrences
Evidence
"Expand national vote-by-mail."
The bill's official title says it is "To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to allow all eligible voters to vote by mail in Federal elections." The cosponsor list includes "Dexter, Maxine [D-OR-3]" with a cosponsor date of 02/21/2025. The latest summary says, "This bill expands voting by mail in federal elections."
"Congresswoman Dexter understands that the right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy" and "she helped reintroduce the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act."
Assessments
Dexter promised to expand national vote-by-mail. In her current federal term she materially supported the promised policy by cosponsoring H.R. 738, the Universal Right To Vote by Mail Act of 2025, which would expand voting by mail in federal elections. However, the evidence does not show that this bill or another national vote-by-mail expansion was enacted. Because there was a concrete legislative attempt but the promised outcome has not been delivered, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
