I’m a little confused, The ywn article makes it sound like merkaz usa is an orthodox party.

They also make it sound like a huge success, but EH and mizrachi were hoping to double last round’s numbers to keep their percentage with the expected larger turnout, which neither party did successfully.

Honestly I’m most surprised that mizrachi couldn’t pull more votes there was no anti voting campaign in their circles like by EHs circles, why couldn’t they get the whole YU alumni and Teaneck etc to vote.

confirms some of my below math.

[yawn]

According to my back of the hand math, the left, (Reform, reconstructionist, and conservative) were 55% in 2015, 45% in 2020, 37% in 2025.
The results are subpar for EH, but a big win for their supposed goal of minimizing left wing influence and steering money away.

Another example;

At the forefront of this historic surge was Eretz HaKodesh, which earned 29,159 votes, coming in third overall and solidifying its position as the dominant Orthodox voice.

EH got a smaller percentage of the votes than last time around and got less votes than Am Yisroel Chai, which is a new party.

[longtimelurker23]

Belz voted for Vision and they increased their vote total sixfold.

Vision has a lot of people who present as orthodox (given names and headcoverings) but their platform leaves me wondering. Are they woke? zionist? post-zionist? anti-zionist?

ich bin confused

[zh cohen]

that we dont have hear about this for another 5 years

Eretz Hakodesh had an ad in Mishpacha this week for Canadian WZO election...

[torashaman]

The real big news is Am Yisroel Chai which is a orthodox kiruv organization got to 2nd place

[knowitall]

What’s the deal with disqualified votes? I’ve seen claims that there were thousands of votes disqualified.

This does not include 18,948 votes that were invalidated due to suspicions of fraud. Am Yisrael Chai and Eretz Hakodesh are believed to be among the six parties said to benefit from seemingly orchestrated campaigns to boost votes using duplicate email addresses and suspicious pre-paid credit cards.

The World Zionist Organization’s Area Election Committee (AEC) continues to investigate the fraud and consider how to penalize slates connected with the fraudulent voting schemes, it says.
