Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Tenney's office said she sent Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche a letter seeking federal review of New York Senate Bill S88A and asking DOJ to evaluate whether the bill complies with federal voter-roll maintenance requirements and whether safeguards are sufficient to prevent improper voter registration.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete same-term oversight action by Tenney toward the commitment, but it documents only her request to DOJ, not DOJ engagement with the New York State Board of Elections or Department of Health.

The New York Senate bill page lists S88A as active and in the Assembly Election Law Committee after passing the Senate on May 11, 2026. The bill text would require the Department of Health and local social services departments, beginning January 1, 2028, to automatically and electronically transmit specified Medicaid applicant or reenrollee information to the State Board of Elections for voter registration and preregistration when the person is externally verified as a U.S. citizen.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official bill status shows S88A had not been enacted and the Medicaid data-transfer provisions had not taken effect as of the latest official action found; searches for the August 15-17, 2026 lookback window did not surface official DOJ engagement or a response proving delivery.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Tenney took concrete same-term oversight action by sending Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche a letter asking DOJ to review S88A and evaluate whether safeguards would prevent improper voter registration. However, the promised outcome was DOJ engagement with the New York State Board of Elections and Department of Health about screening mechanisms before any data transfer. The evidence does not show that DOJ actually engaged those New York agencies or produced the requested review, and S88A had not been enacted or taken effect. This supports recognizing serious effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
