as republican turned out across the state to render the first judgment

[MinhVu]

in an article, I read the phrase" as republican turned out across the state to render the first judgment of the candidate, some voters conceded that they were still wrestling with the issue over whether to select someone who stands the best chance of winning in November or to choose one who is fully aligned with conservative principles." Anybody can explain the meaning of "render" in this text. Thanh you so much

[Mister Micawber]

Render judgment= judge (render = do, deliver)

The voters cannot decide whether to vote for a candidate that they like or a candidate that can win.
