Representative Parsons believes that the Judiciary Nominator’s ticket could cost Republicans thousands of votes, specifically because there are no Orthodox Jews on the ticket and certain parts of New York City are not represented. Parsons also notes the absence of respected Judge Rosalsky and the fact that there are more Democrats than Republicans. A circular letter sent out by the Nominators gave the false impression that men active in politics are forever disqualified from being judges.
