AUSTIN, Texas: New reports of election worker intimidation are raising concerns about election interference. A majority of Americans (71%) are worried about voter intimidation or safety at the polls, and 75% want security cameras at their voting place, according to a new national survey.
Voters on both sides of the aisle strongly believe security cameras are a good idea, with 82% of Republicans and 77% of Democrats saying they favor security cameras at the voting place.
Key findings include:
Experts say security camera technology has improved significantly since the 2020 election.
“Today, AI-powered video analytics are easily added to most standard security cameras, empowering officials to quickly search across all cameras for a person, object or vehicle, so they can immediately find the video they’re looking for,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Eagle Eye Network, a cloud video surveillance provider. “AI gun detection and other AI alerts can proactively notify authorities about problematic situations in the voter queue or at the ballot box, providing peace of mind to voters and election workers alike.”
Commissioned by Eagle Eye Networks, the survey was conducted by Propeller Insights, a Los Angeles-based market research firm. A total of 1,025 respondents in the U.S. were surveyed between Sept. 20-24, 2024.
