Lakewood 2021 is an illustration that Orthodox Jews
A) have plenty of voters who can show up if nudged; turnout was more than 1 person per household and up 64% from 2017.
B) voting 50-50 a few years back can go 2-1 in any direction based on policy and outreach.

Back in New York, Trump had strong OJ support in 2016, yet @TishJames in the 2018 Dem primary for AG won 70% of Orthodox Jews despite her anti-Trump stance. (Many OJs who are right-leaning on policy are registered Dems). In 2020, Trump won Orthodox Jewish votes by huge margins.
