of the Commonwealth to compel the production of the requested
information; and
WHEREAS, The information requested by the United States
Attorney General would provide the United States Department of
Justice with the data required to adequately enforce Federal law
regarding election integrity and voter registration

WHEREAS, The refusal of the Department of State to timely

goals of the United States Department of Justice in fully
utilizing all available information to investigate, prosecute
and prevent election fraud and the registration of noncitizens
to vote; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives urge the
Department of State to comply with the lawful requests for
information from the United States Department of Justice and
immediately fulfill its obligations to adequately steward the
election system of this Commonwealth by fully cooperating with
Federal authorities in their efforts to prevent and investigate
the registration of noncitizens to vote; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives call on the
Governor to seek the fullest extent of collaboration between all
of the executive agencies under his administration and the
Federal Government as it seeks to duly enforce the immigration
laws of this nation.
