Tonight Members will receive a substantial dose of credible evidence. But more important than that. I find it difficult for someone who was a citizen. whether naturalized or native born. to think that the effort to make sure that we are accurate. doublecheck. triplecheck if necessary that no citizen is accused unfairly and that the documents of the task force checked by the appropriate officials. Immigration and Naturalization Service on citizenship and the Secretary of State on a valid voter registration. would not be completely accurate before we would make any assumption. any determination. any statement about a final number of people who. in fact. voted invalidly in the California 46th. Because I will remind all of us. it is not if there were people who voted illegally. it is the question of how many. and that the pursuit of how many has been made a difficult one by virtue of agencies of this government unwilling to cooperate unless their records are subpoenaed. And for a number of people to use such terms as "a Republican campaign of intimidation" when. unlike the former majority. we are trying to use California law to document. not something invented in the task force by a 2 to 1 vote. we are trying to determine with absolute accuracy who could and who could not have legally voted. and who did and who did not. Frankly. I am perplexed by your unwillingness either as a nativeborn citizen or a naturalized citizen to not want to know. I think it is important that if. in fact. there Is a significant amount of people who are not citizens who are actually voting. we need to know now. We do not need to shut this investigation down.
