An Unlikely Voter Base
An overlooked group in the swing state of Pennsylvania, the Amish community, known for their aversion to modern society, could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the upcoming election. With nearly 100,000 members in the state, their traditionally low voter turnout could shift in favor of Donald Trump.
Political Awakening
Despite their historical reluctance to engage in politics, the emergence of Trump and the state's significance in the election have inspired the Amish to participate. Trump and Kamala Harris have been actively campaigning in Pennsylvania, recognizing its importance in securing electoral college votes.
The Swingiest of States
Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, holds the future of the country in its hands with its 19 electoral college votes. Polls suggest a tight race in 2024, with Governor Josh Shapiro dubbing Lancaster County as the "swingiest of all swing counties in the swingiest of all swing states."
Mobilization Efforts
Republican efforts to mobilize the Amish community have shown promising results, with Congressman Lloyd Smucker noting a significant increase in Amish registrants and voters. The sect believes Trump aligns with their values on religious liberty, isolationism, border control, and the economy.
Challenges Ahead
While the Amish community shows potential for political engagement, customs such as holding weddings on Tuesdays in the Fall could pose a challenge to voter turnout. Additionally, recent government interventions, like the case of dairy farmer Amos Miller, have sparked resistance among the Amish against state intrusion.
