Republicans might be seeing a boost in key battleground state Pennsylvania from the Amish community who rarely make an appearance at the polls. The state's well known "Pennsylvania Dutch" registered to cast their vote in "unprecedented numbers" in response to a federal raid on a milk farm in Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania, in January, The Post stated.
The local farm belonging to Amos Miller was raided on January 4, by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture . This was after reports of illnesses in kids linked to the dairy products bought from there circulated, according to news outlet Lancaster Farming."If you think about Amish people and their connection to nature, I mean, some of these people work in fields barefoot to be closer to earth," sources familiar with the situation told The Post.The community rallied around Miller, who said that his spiritual beliefs were a reason behind him not following Food and Drug Administration guidelines, the New York Post reported. Who Are The Amish Community People?Amish community people living in rural Pennsylvania, started arriving in the US in 1714, following persecution for their religious ideologies. Currently, the demographic is expanding across the country, with the largest population (around 92,000) living in the rural areas of Lancaster county, PA, according to news outlet Inews. The actual number of Amish community people who voted were unclear as of Tuesday, however, buggies and horses were spotted near the polling stations in images from the region.When the Amish are turning up.. we know it’s over for Scamala! 80,000 Amish in Pennsylvania, all voting Trump..
