Look out for the following in the results of the strong Orthodox/Jewish NY areas. (The numbers may be pocket money in the context of the big picture, but for what it is worth, here is what to expect):
“The Orthodox and/or Hasidic Jewish Areas” are strongest Kings (Brooklyn), Rockland, and Orange. Westchester, Nassau and Riverdale in Bronx too (stronger with Orthodox Jewish areas).
Republican - Statewide:
- First Senate Seat, Joe DioGuardi got the Orthodox Jewish/Hasidic voters. Whatever amount it is, it is more than any other Statewide Repub. (In Kiryas Joel, Orange County, Malpas may have gotten some votes, same goes with Nassau and Westchester. However, Malpass or Blakeman prob have NO showing in Rockland or Brooklyn).
- On the other Senate seat, few-to-none voted for the either of the two Republicans. In fact, some have placed my name “Yossi Gestetner” as a write-in…
- Lazio also got votes, but in total probably WAY less than DioGuardi – However in some areas he likely came closer to DioGuardi, say in KJ. If Paladino wins by a slim margin, Lazio will be VERY sorry for not going at it to the 18-35 age in the Orthodox/Hasidic street who are mostly fed-up with the Dems.
Republican – House Seats
Heyworth in NY-19, and Kleinahndler in NY-17 got almost all of the Jewish voters who participated. (in NY-19 prob more Jewish Repubs voted than in NY-17, and Wayworth may have gotten more Jewish Votes in KJ than DioGuardi). The other House seats, including where there is “Jewish Mone,” I ma not familiar at this time…
Democrats – Statewide:
– AG Fight:
Rockland County (which has Monsey and other Jewish pockets) is voice-Vote for Schneiderman.
Orange County (KJ area), probably WAY more votes for Cofee than Schneiderman.
Brooklyn, well it is Brooklyn and things should be all over the map, between Schneiderman, Rice and Coffee.
Wetchester and other places: Unknown.
TOTAL: If Schneiderman wins tonight, the Danvan Camp will have a field day with it in the Jewish Community.
– Gillibrand’s Primary:
Few voted, and a few fans and friends placed “Yossi Gestetner” as a write-in to make some noise. (However, am too young to qualify, and I am a Repub in party registration).
