The truth is that these folks do not vote. I live among them, work polls and never see them. We do not even see them when tax issues are on the ballot. They do go to township meetings when zoning changes affect their way of life. They do like to have commercial ventures on agricultural land. They ask for little. You can actually stop and buy a dozen fresh corn and leave the $1.50 in a plastic container with a slit in the top. My one complaint is the dog breeding they do. The dogs are usually inferior
quality and overbred. They make money doing whatever they can do to make a living. They do have a hand in ruining certain breeds of dogs. That is a shame.

You're probably correct about the prospect of their voting. Say, if you live near them: What's a whoopie cookie and would I like it? BTW, I like your screen name.

"dogs are usually inferior quality and overbred."

Interestingly enough, inbreeding is problem in the human population in Amish communities. They actually manage these issues by moving families around between states.

I believe if God moves on the Amish, they will vote. What is impossible with man is possible with God.
