Thats just over 58% for the village and just under 42% for the alliance, a difference of over 16% (870 votes).
Those figures does not include the absenty ballots which should be counted tomorrow.

Please translate these posts to English.
The fact is the zalis had 200 votes less then last year and they will claim victory in Der Yid watch and see
That’s all (for the zalis and bnei yoel) the votes they can pull? after such a heated and so called guaranteed win 2259 all the men and women together? We all know that not all aroinim came out to vote because of Ekstein and some even voted against. Even though they still couldn’t pull it off.
WOW WOW.
That’s all they got 2259 out of entire kj men and women. Nebech
the capitel of this party!!!

Of course its the same peaple.
you do want diffrent peaple by every vote.
And please don’t forget, this party is the party who claims owner on evry inch in this comunity like mosdos and ect….
as long as the MISNAGDIM shrink. and the PRO party wins. that all it matters. every CHUSID is happy today !!!
nish geZURGT, the time will come and all zalis will be in the majoreti
600 r from the yeshyva so…………
I thought the yshiva only has 300 bucharim wow 600 very nice,
Don’t forger this yshiva in kiryas yoel has 600 bucharim
I don’t understand – the opposition in Kiryas Yoel (the stronghold of R’ Aahorn) are about 1/3 of the population?! That is pretty big! It may be a win for row A – but definetly not a strong message!
80% from the Yeshiva can’t vote, they are under 18, but if you want to believe what DER YID has to say, go for it.
the zalis are big time loosers, case closed.
case closed??? your trying to close it for 7 years nothing will help you, the is that when there was 6 children in yafo beis hamedrosh learning with a private melemed you turnd over the world now there are 2 mosdos with 3000 children & still growing evrey year this case will not be closed so fast
WE ARE HERE TO STAY
Very interesting: according to Der Yid the Yeshivah in KJ usually has about 300 Bucherim, but on election day it grows to around 1000, and then on the next day it shrinks back to 300…
btw, according to them, on the day the number of Bucherim grows, the Bucherim themselves grow as well and they all get above 18 just on election day…
Go check out zalmens school in kj there are less then 800 kids,on the other hand r aron has 5500 kids,if you call that a split,dream on
shaffele I checkd it more then once, they have in mosdos v’yoel moshe over 1500 children,(and this is without the older ages in the girls school) “tsi s’shmektir yu tsi nisht”
Anan 3:35 PM, It might be you checked, but you don’t say the actual numbers you found…
The Mesivta of Monroe has around 500 bucherim, 80-90% over 18 (mesivta age is officially from 17 1/2 years and up) without the mesivta the results would be almost neck to neck.
Don’t forget, this is their main base where they’re supposed to be the big majority.
mosdos benei yoel have more than 1100 talmidim, plus 1500 talmidim in mosdos vyoel moshe, which started with 6 talmidim in a basement a couple of years ago.
in 1990 there was a hot election, where the opponents reached 673 votes against 2000 for the incumbents, now thats up to 2259, so who’s growing strong?
You need a scorecard to keep track of all the factions- aharonim-zalmonim.bnei yoel- I must have missed some-
let them move the yeshiva from queens to monroe
