NEW YORK CITY—Shia Greenfield, a Hasidic Jew, stands at the corner of Clymer Street and Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He’s parked a van with Hebrew posters next to a local polling station, and is sending voters—other Satmar Jews who also speak Hebrew—to go and vote there.
“Cuomo ranked No. 1, No. 2 is Adrienne Adams, and No. 3 is Zellnor Myrie,” Greenfield told The Epoch Times about his instructions. Leaders of the Satmar—an extremely conservative Hasidic Jewish dynasty with more than 100,000 members—have issued directions on how to vote for mayor, and Greenfield is there to make sure the followers vote correctly.
