In the race for President of the United States, influential New Jersey political insiders say Republicans may benefit from a projected down voter turnout after Tropical Storm Sandy left much of the state without power through Tuesday.

According to surveys issued to political officials and influencers Monday, respondents from both sides of the aisle believe the storm will have an impact on how many voters head to the polls to vote in the general election.

Four years ago, the majority of voters in both Chatham Borough and Chatham Township chose John McCain, the then-GOP candidate, for president, according to information released by clerks in both towns. But New Jersey, overall, has favored a Democratic candidate in the past five presidential elections.

According to Monday's survey, voters from both parties agreed that Republicans would benefit from fewer voters visiting polls Tuesday.

Polls will open at 6 a.m. during the election and remain open until 8 p.m. For a full list of polling locations in Chatham Borough, click here. For .
