Tenney took concrete same-term oversight action by sending DOJ a May 14, 2026 letter asking for review of New York's Medicaid-based automatic voter registration plan and data-integrity safeguards. However, the record does not show DOJ issued the specific proactive guidance to states on minimum federal standards for Medicaid automatic voter registration data integrity. The adjacent September 2026 DOJ action concerned TANF/SSI reporting to DHS, not the promised Medicaid voter-registration guidance, so this is progress short of delivery.
