How the Amish Helped Trump Win Pennsylvania

It was a breath of relief for many Americans when President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania on Election Day. But that victory might have never been if not for the Amish and Republicans’ unyielding push for their vote.

The Amish have a history of avoiding election participation, making the exclusionary group’s record turnout this year even more striking.

Fewer than 10 percent of Amish in Pennsylvania ever vote, and most usually aren’t even registered, according to the Associated Press.
