Jeremy's Knesset Insider 
Interesting to guess which parties were helped more by prisons than army voting.
YA#17 – Well, at least now I can enjoy his column in Torah Tidbits again. Also implies Lapid gave up on the religious Anglo vote?
Side Note: In YA17’s native Beit Shemesh, the small YA vote close to doubled (about 500 to close to close to 900), while in Bnei Brak it halved from about 1000 to about 500, perhaps indicative of the trend of people on the Bnei Brak periphery to move to Tel Aviv. Beit Shemesh does not have a lot of left-wingers, it looks like; Gimel and Likud are pretty much neck-and-neck with Gimel on top. (Interesting as the mayor is Shas.) And recall that the troublemakers in RBSB probably don’t vote on principle. Bennet only got about 10%, only a bit more than Yishai. Labor in way down there.
I see that the so-called Chareidi women’s party, heavily pushed by one Arutz Sheva reporter, got basically nothing in Chareidi areas (30 in Bnei Brak). And while it is likely true that there were places where their ballots were removed, it shows that the whole thing was media puffery with nothing behind it.
Shas may one day have female members, as their rabbis may allow it, but Gimel was created in the first place because Mizrachi ran Tova Sanhedrai (a great woman and friend of Rabbanit Herzog and – and my cousin Ivriah, for that matter – but it is a question of Jewish law, and not exclusively a Charedi issue).
Charedim don’t follow Jewish law.
For example It’s perfectly fine for a woman to be a Knesset member. It’s not fine for men to refuse to work and go to a secular government and coerce other Jews to give them money. That is the equivalent of going to secular courts which is a Torah prohibition.
What are double envelopes? I don’t understand this one. Love, emme

Voting is by home-town. To make sure people don’t vote twice whilst maintaining the secrecy of the ballot, there is one envelope with the party slip in it, and it goes in an other one which has town and ID number of the voter, so (s)he can be crossed off the list
I suppose the way that would work would be, if they *did* vote in their home town, the double envelope vote then would not count. That is, it wouldn’t be counted until they check that the person hasn’t voted at their normal place.
I would guess also it is not legal, but I would assume in that case, the benefit of the doubt would be given that it was a mistake,
Jeremy,
Firstly thanks for your work, fantastic!
And a question,
Is it known what electoral effect did Bibi call “Arabs are voting” or the phenomenon of mass transfer vote from BY and other right-wing parties to Llikud were before the Netanyahu message?
Thank You.
How many votes were Yachad short of in the end? 5000 according to an Arutz Sheva article, is that correct? If only 5000 could they make that up on various objections being sustained, would make things interesting.
They were short by 11708 votes.
I understand why UTJ are bottom as they are not in the army or diplomatic services but how come that JAL has over 12%.
That is a mistake, they got a little more than 3%.
Where did Green Leaf’s votes come from? Is that people in prison voting for them or young people in the army who thought it funny? I have always wanted to see them win a few seats, but I know it’ll probably never happen.
My thought upon seeing that, was they must have waged a special campaign somewhere – probably in the prisons.
