Ballabon's efforts also succeeded, with The Forward reporting that Ballabon "basically created a new demographic this election cycle...he helped put his fellow Orthodox Jews on the map as a separate Republican Party constituency. He — or rather, President Bush — was rewarded royally when as many as 80% of Orthodox Jews nationally gave their vote to the GOP ticket."
Ballabon's actions resulted in The Forward recognizing Orthodox Jews as a distinct voting bloc within the Republican party, leading to a significant increase in their support for the GOP.
