The Push for Voter ID in New Jersey

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning, Let’s go to New Jersey. Let’s talk to the New Jersey gopch here, Christine Handlin, and find out what the heck is going on. Well, Christine, is there any update on the fraud on the amount of ballast of voting, because I understand in New York there’s a separate investigation going on by the US Attorney in the Northern District

0:23 on certain elections that happened in New York City, New York State.

0:29 Speaker 2 Very interesting to hear about that. And you know, we in the New Jersey Republican Party and we’ve been pushing really hard to get answers relating to the non citizens on the voter rolls. And one of the most important things we’re working on is really demanding that the state look outside of the year that they claimed there was

0:51 this glitch that allowed you know, sixty six hundred or so non citizens onto the voter rolls and some of them voted. Data that we have shows that the problem was not limited to that time. So we are pushing along with our Republican legislators to really get an audit of the voter roles. We want a reform of the

1:13 entire system and we want ID to be required, and very interestingly, Governor Cheryl recently indicated that she might be open to voter ID. So we really feel like things are moving in the right direction. We’re pushing hard. Congressman Van Drew from New Jersey is calling for congressional hearings about what has happened. So every week there’s something new.

1:38 Speaker 1 See Christine, I don’t care Democrats, Republicans, independence all we want. I think all Americans, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, I think we all want just fair elections.

1:54 Speaker 2 And this, I believe is one of the biggest, you know, voter integrity scandals of our time. You know, Democrats are really saying, well, you don’t need voter ID because this really never happens. But now there’s proof that it did happen, so you know, no one can really say anymore that it doesn’t happen, because it did. And so we are

2:18 just going to keep pushing for voter integrity and election integrity, and you know, it’s it’s our main focus right now.

2:26 Speaker 1 Last week I had Vice President Pence on and he said it right because he had his own disagreements with the Republican Party and he had his own disagreements for President Trump. He says, the Republicans may have a lot of disagreements, but the Democrats have lost their minds.

2:44 Speaker 2 Well, well, we’re seeing a lot of that lately with the left surge and the surge toward the Democratic Socialists of America within the Democratic Party, and that is something to be concerned about. So I think everyone across the country is looking at that as a real problem on the on uh, on the side of the Democrats.

3:08 Speaker 1 Christine Handling, gop chare New Jersey. But keep keep us informed what’s going on. We’ll put you on whenever you have some new news. And all we want is feir uh, fear and integrity in our voting, et cetera. Thank you so much, Thank you,
