Gavra: I know you copy pasted but just to set the record straight the Satmars are NOT building the Bloomingburg community – Shalom Lamm (MO, not Chasidish) is building it and marketed it to Satmar. He’s mostly behind all the counter lawsuits, but IIRC this case was fought pro-Bono, not sure though.) He invested millions and has a lot at stake in its success. The local community is fighting the development tooth and nail and he’s fighting back accordingly.
As for the voting fiasco the board cancelled all Chasidish votes claiming they didn’t live locally. (Which may have been true to some extent but they cancelled ALL Chasidish votes, not doing due diligence.). Denying votes for discriminatory reasons is a major offense in the US. So they got a monitor, compensation etc., but in Lakewood there are no illegalities claimed, just lack of funds to cover everything.
