Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Sherrill compete in a tight New Jersey gubernatorial race with six days until Election Day and nearly one million early votes cast.

The town hall, hosted by Fox News' Sean Hannity in this seaside community along the Jersey Shore, took place six days into state's early in-person voting period. Nearly one million voters have already cast a ballot, either in-person or through mail-in voting, far ahead of the pace four years ago when Ciattarelli came close to upsetting Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy.

Now, in his third bid for Garden State governor, Ciattarelli is facing off with Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rep. Mikie Sherrill in an extremely competitive and combustible race to succeed the term-limited Murphy.
