Rep. Carter lauded House passage of the SAVE America Act and listed that the bill would direct states to create a procedure for documentation discrepancies so eligible voters are not disqualified due to a name change.

The Senate rejected cloture on Husted Amendment No. 4732 to S. 1383, the SAVE Act vehicle, by 53-47, short of the required three-fifths majority.
Assessments
The promised procedure was included in the SAVE America Act language that passed the House, and Carter publicly supported that passage during his federal House term. However, the relevant Senate vehicle failed to advance on cloture and the procedure had not been enacted into federal law as of August 31, 2026. This is a failed legislative effort rather than a delivered outcome.
