While often they’ll vote Democrat for local races (Councilman, Assemblyman, etc.) based on bread-and-butter issues, they overwhelmingly tend to vote Republican in Statewide and Federal elections. This can be easily corroborated by viewing Board of Election results in overwhelmingly Orthodox, including Chasidic, voting precincts.
Except if Marc Rich needs to be pardoned? 🙁
This just shows a major shortcoming of the study, in which those who identify as “Republican” are “independent” (vote what the Rebbe tells them) and end up voting Democrat most of the time.
My point as well was that I expected the Chassidic side to be growing at a higher rate than other Yeraim.
