New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with a bipartisan coalition of 50 attorneys general, has released a statement advocating for a peaceful election process. The statement emphasizes the importance of maintaining peace regardless of the 2024 election results.
"Regardless of the 2024 election outcome, we condemn any and all acts of violence related to its results," reads the statement. "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."
The coalition calls on Americans to participate in voting and civil discourse while respecting democratic integrity. They stress unity post-election based on shared commitment to law and community safety. "Violence has no place in our democratic process," they assert, pledging legal action against threats to democracy.
Attorney General James's initiative is supported by attorneys general from various states and territories including Alabama, Alaska, California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Texas, Virginia among others.
