There's a good reason for what she's saying.

Local gangsters would try to get witness to document which candidates a person voted for.

And IIRC, Jimmy Carter's NYC campaign manager's election day slogan was, "Vote early. Vote often." They can't have people recorded at multiple voting precincts, right??? It's unAmerican!

Stolen elections are American as asshole pie. Yes. Asshole pie. It's terrible. The media did better at covering it up, as there were only a handful of media outlets.

It's not as significant an issue any more, because the modern solution is to simply changed the electronic voting results.

It really had nothing to do with the woman's role as a judge.

Voter fraud is not as common as people think.

Election fraud is endemic; like briefcases of ballots with only one candidate on the ballot, etc.
Election fraud is off the charts.

Don't you think the boundary of no recording is a little excessive? Why not just make it illegal to video someone voting? Or use curtains. We don't have a rule that you can't film the outside of a Walmart because there are changing rooms inside. There are ways to make a private thing private that we already know how to do.

It originated from thugs waiting at the polls and intimidating people into voting a certain way, and the video aspect is a cautionary precaution.

Privacy while casting a ballot in an election is a basic right, and it is presupposed a free society.

Why should anyone else ever be authorized to record another at a voting station?

"Why should anyone ever be authorized to record another voting"

Well, we don't live in a permission based country. It's not so much a question of why we should authorize someone as much as why we should de-authorize them. And you make a point why someone should not be recording how someone voted. But we should be de-authorizing as little as possible so it makes sense to restrict the actual harm rather than put ever growing hedges around it. So why not just make it a more serious crime to record how someone voted?

What's the benefit of video recording voters while voting?

Well we don't live in a permission based legal system where a benefit has to be weighed to motivate authorizing someone to be able to do something. The benefit is the person recording finds it to be beneficial. As long as they aren't causing the specific harm we are concerned about we maximize value by letting people make their own calculations for what is valuable and giving them the freedom to act on it. And there I am saying 'giving them freedom'. Freedom isn't given. It's taken away, ideally as little as possible.
