The Zaloynim & Aroynim vote in Williamsburg
The vote in Hasidic Williamsburg when the Aroynim and the Zaloynim vote separately for a primary :
and when they vote together (sometimes against other congregations, like in 1989) :
SO :
source : NY Board of Elections, 2001-2012, by Election Districts (Eds)
Conclusion :
The Aroynim (and allies) deliver between between 21% and 36% of the hasidic vote, without talking about elections before 2005 or with a low turnout. The Zaloynim (and allies) deliver between 57% and 78% of the hasidic vote.
nowadays winning the zaloynim vote in a high turnout primary election is like having the whole community support in 2001, 2 weeks after 9/11 and 2 days before Yom Kippur! With a lower turnout, like Connor/Squadron, it's even worst.
With the June 2012 turnout, their voting bloc would be unbeatable if they'd work together.
Notes
about the EDs : i used EDs 41,42,49,50. They are the most hasidic ED's in Williamsburg. Before the 2002 redistricting, EDs 41+42 is ED 44 and EDs 49+50 = ED 43. Before 1992 redistricting, ED 49+50 = ED 66 and ED 41+42 = ED 67.
about the last election : we use the unofficial final results, provided by OP. with the redistricting, the EDs have changed in the hasidic area. i've managed to fix it but there could be some change needed.
