What the record shows ·
He introduced S. 5271 on August 5, 2026, to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voters to provide photo identification. In the Senate sitting of August 7, 2026, which ran into August 8, he voted Yea on cloture on the motion to proceed to it; cloture was not invoked, 52 to 46 (Roll Call 231), so the bill was not debated.
