The bill will also strengthen election security in federal elections by: Requiring all voters to present photo identification when voting at the polls; a voter who forgot to bring ID to the polling place could cast a provisional ballot, which would be counted if a voter presents ID within three days; Requiring all absentee voters to submit a copy of their photo ID, the last four digits of their Social Security number, or a notarized attestation that the ballot was cast by the specific voter; and Allowing access to printers at government offices so absentee voters can copy their photo ID free of charge.

Barrett backed federal voter ID requirements through the Stop Insider Trading Act, including photo ID for in-person voting and ID, Social Security digits, or notarized attestation for absentee ballots.

Congress.gov shows H.R.7296, the SAVE America Act, would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and requires photo identification to vote. Tom Barrett is listed among the bill's cosponsors. The bill's latest action remains its Jan. 30, 2026 referral to the House Committee on House Administration, with no passage or enactment shown.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Barrett took a concrete legislative step by cosponsoring the exact bill text, but the measure has only been introduced and referred in the House. By inference from the current Congress.gov status page, there is no newer official action in the June 10-12 lookback window, so the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered.
