The Amish are notorious for generally not taking part in political process, but there are hundreds of thousands spread across key swing states.

I can’t see the Amish being attracted to the dems, so should be an easy group to get to vote GOP

Already campaigning with them.

For two Republican operatives, those two numbers add up to one major opportunity — to convince the traditionally reluctant Amish to come out to the polls, where their votes might be tremendously influential. The operatives’ project, which started in 2016 with billboards and newspaper ads urging Amish people to vote for Donald Trump, goes by the name Amish PAC.

It’s a good point. Wiki says there’s 81K Amish in Pennsylvania. I think the election comes down to a very tight race there so efforts to mobilize them seems smart.

Plus they can't be polled since they don't have phones.

Gotta say the confederate flag on the Amish wagon is disappointing. Those people don’t seem like the cuck type and considering they’re in a state that lost many thousands of young men fighting the confederacy this is Steve King of Iowa flying the confederate flag in his office level cuckoldry.

Does the Amish's religion/culture allow them to vote? They are pretty steadfast in staying out of the "English" world. I always assumed that they stayed out of the political arena.

The Amish want to be left alone. The Southern states wanted to be left alone. It makes sense they'd fly that flag.

That’s because they’ve been spending most their lives living in an Amish paradise
