Moody joins call for nonviolence

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has joined with another 40 state and territorial chief law enforcement officers to renounce any violence that might erupt as the nation votes today.

“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,” they said in a written statement distributed by the National Association of Attorneys General.

“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 document continues.

“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.”

Moody, a Republican, has been a loyal follower of Donald Trump, who incited a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to disrupt certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
