2022 Primary Elections

That's not factually correct. Biden still won the district by over 10%, with zero frum votes.

I think we have to watch what happens in NJ-4, the congressional district which includes Lakewood. Chris Smith is a longtime incumbent, but Trump bashed him recently and invited challengers.

The number 3 guy dropped out today, consolidating the opposition behind Conservative talk show host Mike Crispi, whose campaign is being led by Roger Stone. Trump has not yet made an official endorsement in the race, but he might, and even if he doesn't, Crispi is the clear (lone) Trumper in the race. The district is very Republican, and Trump carried it both elections by a wide margin.

I'm waiting to see what happens here. (Though the Vaad will endorse Smith, which may impact things somewhat. וצ"ע.)

Voting day is today. I cast my vote for Smith, and I'll be watching the numbers and the messages to see if the VAAD will take credit if Smith wins Lakewood big.

There is a section for County Committee, though I don't know what they do. No petition was filed, so I wrote in Daniel Eleff. Maybe others can do the same and we can make him an elected official here in Lakewood. 

Here's a sample ballot, if anyone wants to see

Can someone please explain to me what the point of County committee is?

I assume that they decide who gets the party line for county seats, but I don't know for sure.

Is there any benefit in being on the committee?

For us in Jackson, comitte is very important, huge push to get out and vote just to make sure we win that

[YitzyS]

With no Lakewood districts reporting yet, Smith has 62 percent to Crispi's 32.

39/335 districts

Seems like Jackson Jews managed to kick out a lot of bigoted incumbents from the County Committee.

[Sam 77]

Smith is projected to win.

Smith is projected to win.

Yup. But NO precincts reporting in Lakewood yet! Those are the numbers I really want to see.

We gotta pray that he wins big in Lakewood. He's done so much for the community.

Not sure. I realized once I was in the ballot box. There were no contestants on the Democrat slate, so I just voted straight down. Hope I didn't give some anti-Semite my vote.

In OH they ask if you want R, D, or I each time.

Agreed, which is why I made sure to go out and vote for him

[YitzyS]

Smith got 81 percent of Lakewood's votes. Crispi won just 16.2 percent.

[YitzyS]

Turnout in Lakewood was about 7.2 percent.
