I respect the checks and balances defined in the United States Constitution and I support the electoral processes that protect the freedoms, liberties, and opportunities that are assured by our democratic institutions and norms. Most critically, elections must be conducted according to the rule of law – in a transparent, unbiased and secure process – leading to a peaceful transfer of power absent of intimidation or violence.
