Evidence

Slotkin said HSGAC Republicans blocked her amendment that would have barred DHS employees or contractors from seizing ballots or election material stored under 52 U.S.C. 20701.

Most recent official evidence in the lookback window shows the proposal was introduced in committee but blocked, not adopted.

GovInfo's official U.S. Code entry identifies 52 U.S.C. 20701 as the federal election-record retention provision governing preservation and deposit of election records.

Confirms the underlying federal-law reference used in the blocked amendment and the 22-month ballot-record storage context.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The evidence indicates Slotkin pursued the promised policy through an HSGAC amendment to bar DHS employees or contractors from seizing ballots or election materials stored under 52 U.S.C. 20701, but the amendment was blocked in committee and was not adopted. Because this was a serious federal legislative attempt during her Senate term but did not become law or otherwise deliver the promised prohibition, the correct outcome is not delivered, with effort credit.
