she said she was joining Schumer’s task force to defend ballot access and voter rights
Join Schumer's task force to defend ballot access and voter rights and oppose the use of the SAVE program for voter roll maintenance.
Occurrences
Evidence
“This week, Schumer tapped Cantwell to join a Democratic Senate task force to defend ballot access and voter rights in November.” The release also says Cantwell joined colleagues in demanding DHS and SSA stop using the SAVE program for voter-roll maintenance and take no steps that would disenfranchise eligible voters.
The letter says SSA data is at the core of the overhauled SAVE program, warns that the program is not appropriate for voter roll maintenance, and asks SSA to discontinue data sharing activities that risk disenfranchising eligible voters.
Assessments
Cantwell fulfilled the promised oversight action during her current Senate term: the evidence shows Schumer selected her for the Democratic Senate task force on ballot access and voting rights, and she joined Senate colleagues in formally opposing use of the SAVE program for voter-roll maintenance through letters to DHS/SSA. Because the promise was to join and oppose, not to enact a statutory result, these documented actions satisfy the claim.
