Evidence
U.S. Representative - District 9: Onder, Bob REP 15,752 29.0%; Luetkemeyer, Blaine REP 21,543 39.7%.
The engrossed House text states that H.R.22 would amend the National Voter Registration Act to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office. It also says a state may not register an individual to vote in federal elections unless the applicant provides documentary proof of United States citizenship.
Latest Action: Senate - 04/10/2025 Received in the Senate. This bill has the status Passed House. The tracker shows Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law as later steps not completed.
Roll Call 102, Bill Number H.R.22, Vote Question: On Passage, SAVE Act, Status: Passed, yea: 220, nay: 208, not voting: 5. The all-votes list records: Onder Republican Missouri MO Not Voting.
Congress.gov lists 110 current cosponsors for H.R.22 and shows Missouri [1] among cosponsors by state. The cosponsor list identifies Rep. Burlison, Eric [R-MO-7] as the Missouri original cosponsor, not Rep. Onder.
Executive Order 14399 states that the right to vote in Federal elections is reserved exclusively for citizens of the United States and directs DHS and SSA to compile and transmit state citizenship lists, DOJ to prioritize election-fraud investigations, and USPS to begin rulemaking on mail-in and absentee ballot handling.
Assessments
Onder lost the 2008 Republican primary for Missouri's 9th Congressional District, so he had no same-term federal House term to deliver the promise. Later election-security actions cited were either not completed as law, such as the SAVE Act, or were undertaken by other officials, such as the 2026 executive order. The record also shows Onder did not vote on final House passage of the SAVE Act and was not listed as a cosponsor, so there is not enough candidate-specific contribution to credit him with delivering or materially advancing the promised outcome.
