Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce legislation, not to enact it. Evidence from Edwards's official House press release states that he introduced the No Funds for Ballot Harvesting Act, which directly matches the promised action of filing legislation to block federal election administration funds in states that allow ballot harvesting. Because the promised act was introduction of a bill and that occurred while he was serving in the relevant federal office term, this counts as delivered in the same term.
