AI Summary
This resolution urges the Pennsylvania Department of State to fully comply with information requests from the U.S. Department of Justice regarding voter registration. The context involves the Department of Justice seeking voter registration data to verify compliance with federal laws like the Help America Vote Act and the National Voter Registration Act. Specifically, the resolution highlights that the Department of State has only provided incomplete information in response to three letters from the U.S. Attorney General in 2025, which led to a federal lawsuit. The resolution calls for the Department of State to cooperate with federal authorities in preventing and investigating the registration of noncitizens to vote, and additionally asks the Governor to maximize collaboration between state executive agencies and the federal government in enforcing immigration laws. The resolution suggests that the Department of State's current non-compliance could result in unnecessary litigation expenses for Pennsylvania taxpayers and potentially undermine election integrity efforts.
