The DOJ Voting Section page states that it enforces federal voting laws including the National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act, and Civil Rights Acts. Its visible recent news items list election-monitoring actions in Massachusetts, South Carolina, Florida, Wyoming, Minnesota, Michigan, and Arizona through September 1, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A current official DOJ voting page shows DOJ election-law activity but no public item found in the lookback window or visible recent activity indicating a DOJ assessment of New York S88A or Medicaid automatic voter registration risks.

Tenney materially pursued the requested federal oversight during her current House term by sending DOJ a letter asking it to review New York's Medicaid automatic-voter-registration risks and federal voter-roll compliance. However, the promised outcome was a DOJ assessment, and the evidence does not show DOJ completed, opened, or publicly acknowledged such an assessment. This is a serious oversight effort but not delivery of the promised DOJ action.
