First, we should institute voter ID laws in every state. You should not be able to cast a vote without a valid government ID. Second, you should not be able to register to vote without proof of citizenship. In addition, we should, like we do in Colorado, require robust signature verification in order to vote.
Support voter ID laws in every state, proof of citizenship for voter registration, and robust signature verification for voting.

Assessments
The verified commitment is an outcome-oriented federal House campaign promise to institute voter ID laws in every state, require proof of citizenship for voter registration, and require robust signature verification. The only verified evidence shows that House-engrossed H.R. 8800 contained a Division E titled SAVE America Act and that House procedure added S. 1383 text to H.R. 8800. Those passages do not verify enactment, the specific voter-ID/proof/signature outcomes, or Jeff Crank's material contribution. With no documented deadline expired and no verified enacted outcome attributable to Crank, the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
Crank took concrete same-term federal action by cosponsoring H.R.22, the SAVE Act, and voting for House passage. That bill addressed the proof-of-citizenship voter registration portion of the promise and related ID-document requirements. However, it had not become law, did not establish voter ID laws in every state for casting ballots, and did not appear to deliver robust signature-verification standards. The record supports meaningful effort and partial fulfillment, not full delivery of the whole promised outcome.
