I see many are registered to vote this time. There any truth in that? If so, have they not typically voted in the past? Going off the Presler thread where he got a lot of Amish signed up to vote.

I watched a video, it wasn't Pressler, some other guy asking Amish folk if they were voting and for who. I've read different responses about how many Amish votes were available. From 5k to 50k. Lol
Seems like they would stick together on whether or not to vote and who to vote for.

Apparently the Amish have not registered or voted much in the past.

Supposedly they’ve registered and voted over 125,000 Amish this year, all Republican.

The dumbass Dems went after some Amish for selling raw milk in the last couple years and I guess they finally decided to stop watching politics from the sidelines.

It’s a huge swing for Republicans in a tight race.

My uneducated guess is that they typically haven’t participated much in the past. I hope that changes. We need principled people to vote

They can ride in cars for certain circumstances. Funerals, etc.

I'm sure early voting helped in this regard.

Amish typically don’t vote. They also don’t post grip and grin pics with trophy bucks.

From my earlier post on PB:

Found this:
PBS on PA Amish voters

LINK

quote:

There are currently about 92,000 Amish of all ages in Pennsylvania, according to the Young Center’s research, which is based on a number of sources, including almanacs, newspapers, and directories. About half are in the Lancaster area and the rest dispersed around the state. But in a community with many children, less than half the Amish are of voting age, Nolt said. In 2020, he estimated that about 3,000 Amish voted in the Lancaster area, and several hundred elsewhere, he said. “Even if we would imagine, for example, that here in Lancaster, there would be a tremendous percentage in percentage terms … we’re looking at several hundred to maybe a thousand additional voters,” he said.
