Attorneys general nationwide are condemning the potential for violence in response to Tuesday’s presidential election.

The National Association of Attorneys General, or NAAG, on Monday released a statement on behalf of a bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general, led by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, Oregon Attorney General and NAAG President Ellen Rosenblum, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach.

“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 group said.

“We call upon every American to vote, participate in civil discourse and, above all, respect the integrity of the democratic process,” the group statement continued. “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.”
