Hmmm...the opening statement in this article takes me by surprise. I have visited Lancaster County annually and sometimes more over the last 20 years. On more than one tour of Amish traditions and practices which I have taken in my earlier years there, it was stated quite clearly that the Amish are very big on getting out and voting in elections. The reason given is because laws and lawmakers affect their farming and they want to make sure they have a hand it that. Perhaps they vote mostly in local elections and not so much in the national ones, but they would still have to be registered to do that.
That was my response too. My husband and I used to live in Lancaster County and I was under the impression that they voted as well. One of them who did work for us, told me they vote Republican because even though they are pacifists, the Republicans will leave them alone and let them be what they are, so they figure they should support that.
