The White House page reproduces SAVE America Act language using DHS through SAVE and requiring removal of noncitizens from federal voter rolls.

This official policy page confirms that the related SAVE America Act included DHS SAVE mechanisms for state election officials, aligning with Blackburn's public support, but it does not establish passage of Blackburn's specific incentive bill.

The order states DHS and SSA records, including SAVE data, can help verify identity and federal voter eligibility, with implementation subject to appropriations.

The executive order shows related federal action using SAVE data, but it is not Blackburn-sponsored legislation and therefore only supports a partial, not delivered, assessment of the legislative promise.
