To that end, Mr. President, notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 547, S. 5271; further, that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.

We are deeply troubled by the actions that you, DHS, and the Trump Administration have taken. As such, we demand that you immediately cease the aforementioned activities and provide us with all information underpinning the allegations made in your July 17, 2026, letter regarding non-citizens registered to vote, rescind Information Bulletin Nos. 569 and 569(a), release all withheld funds to the states without further delay, and provide information about the “Unlawful Voter Initiative.”

Cortez Masto (D-NV), Nay
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, Cortez Masto voted against cloture on proceeding to H.R.7008, a vehicle carrying a SAVE Act voter-identification provision. Cloture failed 53–47. This establishes concrete blocking effort, but the procedural defeat does not establish final prevention of the SAVE America Act's passage.
and includes a voter identification provision from the SAVE Act that would require eligible voters to include photo identification in their mail and absentee ballots
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The Senate Rules Committee ranking member's official statement explicitly connects the stock-trading vehicle blocked on September 30 to a SAVE Act provision. This establishes the relevance of Cortez Masto's recorded vote, while supporting only a procedural setback rather than final defeat of the broader legislation.
Mr. President, I’m joining my Democratic colleagues today in opposition to the SAVE America Act,
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Previously unlisted evidence outside the lookback window documents Cortez Masto's Senate floor opposition directly to the SAVE America Act. It establishes concrete public effort and fulfills the opposition component, but does not by itself resolve the ongoing commitment to prevent passage.
Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial.same_term
Official Congress.gov records show the relevant SAVE America Act/SAVE Act measures had not become law during Cortez Masto's current Senate term: H.R.7296 remained introduced and referred to House Administration, S.128 remained introduced and referred to Senate Rules and Administration, and H.R.22 passed the House but had only been received in the Senate. That supports the promised prevention of passage so far, and her absence from the Republican-only Senate cosponsor list is consistent with opposition. However, the record provided does not show a concrete Cortez Masto vote, sponsorship of blocking legislation, public campaign, or other material action, and the 119th Congress measure remained active rather than finally defeated. Credit is therefore partial rather than fully delivered.
