Rep. Carter's office said the House passed the SAVE America Act and listed as a provision: allow eligible voters to register and provide documentary proof of citizenship by mail when their state allows early voting or same-day registration.

The Senate recorded vote 73 on March 26, 2026; cloture on Husted Amendment No. 4732 to S. 1383 was rejected, 53-47, with a three-fifths threshold required.
Assessments
The promised outcome required the registration-by-mail/proof-of-citizenship policy to become operative federal law or otherwise be implemented. Carter can receive credit for a serious House-side legislative effort because the House passed the SAVE America Act in February 2026 with his support and his office cited the relevant provision. However, the Senate did not invoke cloture on the relevant SAVE Act vehicle/amendment on March 26, 2026, so the measure had not been enacted or implemented by the latest identified action. House passage alone is not full delivery.
