AG Kaul Joins Bipartisan Coalition Condemning Possible Violence in Response to Election Results
MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General Josh Kaul today joined a bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general in condemning any potential violence related to upcoming election results.
The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG)’s statement emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and respect for the democratic process.
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.
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.
