In reply to the discussion: Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County [View all]HarryM
(408 posts)I could see this district voting for only one candidate. It is an Chassidic religious community, where the people close the town on their religious holidays. It is probably the most backward communities in NY. Harris wasnt totally pro Zionist, so it is entirely possible that this community unanimously voted for Nectarine Nero.

While noodling around about this village, I found this: https://www.jns.org/satmar-chassidic-rebbe-in-kiryas-joel-ny-endorses-trump/
It is essentially a story in a Jewish news website stating that the local rebbe of this Chassidic sect has endorsed Don the Con. The story dates back to late October 2024.
This is why, I believe that it is entirely possible that they all voted for whoever their religious leader endorsed. It seems to be the way they roll.
