There are fewer than half a million Orthodox voters.

In 20 years, there could be 3 times as many.

Orthodox (10 % of total) families are generally quite large; 6 or 7 kids is not unusual.

Reform Jews reproduce at far below replacement level, worse than the Italians. Repubican percentages will increase on that basis alone.

thats not exactly right there is attrition from orthodoxy to secular and non religious entities. For example there are about 2 mill reformed jews in nyc ...
The orthodox community is fairly small compared to the totall number of about 6.5 mil in US.

Not if most of the Orthodox Jews make aliyah.
