November 05, 2024

Chicago - Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined a bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general condemning potential post-election violence and supporting a shared commitment for peace and stability regardless of the election results:

"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."
