UPDATE: The Republican State Committee last night approved an amendment allowing Orthodox Jews to vote on Friday May 7th, the day before the party’s convention, from 3-6 PM at a specified location. The approval comes after the committee last week,voted against granting an exemption to those of the Jewish faith who cannot travel due to Shabbat – the sabatth – to participate in the convention.
