GovInfo lists H.R. 8078 as introduced March 25, 2026 and referred to House committees. The bill text includes automatic registration of eligible individuals and same day registration.
Assessments
Menefee took office on February 2, 2026, so the relevant federal office term is still ongoing as of September 7, 2026. H.R. 8078, the Voter Empowerment Act of 2026, includes automatic voter registration and same-day registration, but it was introduced by Rep. James Clyburn and remains at introduction/committee referral status. The available record does not show Menefee sponsoring, cosponsoring, voting on, or otherwise materially advancing that specific automatic and same-day registration vehicle. Related democracy actions are not enough to count this specific promise as delivered. Because he is still in office and the promise could still be acted on, unresolved is more appropriate than never.
