As of noon Pacific time, the statement was endorsed by all state attorneys general, including those from the District of Columbia and U.S. territories, with exceptions being Texas, Montana, Indiana, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
The National Association of Attorneys General released a statement addressing potential violence in response to the 2024 election:
"Regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s election, we expect that Americans will respond peacefully and we condemn any acts of violence related to the results. A peaceful transfer of power is the highest testament to the rule of law, a tradition that stands at the heart of our nation’s stability. As Attorneys General, we affirm our commitment to protect our communities and uphold the democratic principles we serve."
The coalition emphasizes civic participation and respect for democratic processes: "We call upon every American to vote, participate in civil discourse and, above all, respect the integrity of the democratic process. Let us come together after this election not divided by outcomes but united in our shared commitment to the rule of law and safety of all Americans. Violence has no place in the democratic process; we will exercise our authority to enforce the law against any illegal acts that threaten it."
