@always ask questions: you are 100 percent correct. more and more satmar yidden have access to internet and the news outlets in yiddish are bigger and bigger (do your research). however, there was never an interest like there was at this election- even amongst the chassidish people who did have internet- because on the other hand everyone was told to go out and vote mitzad hakoras hatov.
in other words, there is a fine line between Jews electing, and Jews being INTO elections, and the satmar rebbes want to sharpen that line.
