82% of New Jersey adults support
0:02
requiring photo ID to vote in person.
0:05
That's what a new poll is revealing this
0:07
week. A Rutgers-Eagleton poll released
0:09
Tuesday also finds 71% favor proof of
0:13
citizenship to register. Republicans in
0:15
the poll showed the strongest support
0:17
for both requirements, but confidence in
0:19
ballot counting varies by how people
0:21
vote. 74% are confident in the accuracy
0:25
of in-person ballot counting compared
0:27
with 59% for mail ballots. Two-thirds
0:30
are confident that only eligible voters
0:32
will cast ballots. New Jersey Governor
0:34
Mikey Sherrill says she supports voter
0:37
ID in New Jersey, but stopped short of
0:39
saying whether or not she would support
0:40
a Republican-backed bill in the state
0:42
legislature to require ID by law at the
0:45
voting booth. The findings measure
0:47
public opinion ahead of November's
0:49
election, where the state is reeling
0:51
from multiple election scandals
0:53
involving thousands of registered
0:54
non-citizens on the voter rolls, and
0:57
hundreds who had voted in recent
0:58
elections. Several people have been
1:00
arrested for illegally voting in New
1:02
Jersey by the Department of Justice, but
1:04
Mikey Sherrill is blaming a computer
1:06
glitch. She is also refusing to
1:08
cooperate with a federal investigation
1:11
into illegal aliens voting in New Jersey
1:13
elections. A bill sponsored by Ocean
1:15
County State Senator Carmen Amato was
1:17
introduced last week. Whether state
1:19
Democrats will get behind Amato's bill
1:22
remains uncertain, but few expect the
1:24
bill to be backed by Democrats. For the
