HARRISBURG – As Election Day approaches, Attorney General Michelle Henry joined a bipartisan coalition of Attorneys General from across the nation in issuing a letter through the National Association of Attorneys General to condemn any and all acts of post-election violence, and to reaffirm the importance of a peaceful democratic process leading up to the 2024 general election.
Attorney General Henry reminds all Pennsylvanians that democracy was built on the basic right to vote in peace, and that her office is collaborating with local, state, and federal partners to ensure a free and fair election process.
The unified statement from the Attorneys General:
“Regardless of the 2024 election outcome, we condemn any and all acts of violence related to its 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 the safety of our fellow Americans.
“Violence has no place in our democratic process. We will enforce the law against any acts that threaten our communities and democracy.”
