Actually, I'm floored they voted at all. It is against their *beliefs* to vote, hold office, get a S.S.#, take any kind of government assistance, buy insurance, etc. and has nothing to do with wanting to be left alone. It only underscores their belief in the importance of this election that they broke with their teachings and voted.
I didn't read any more than the excerpted article but I'll be willing to bet the author doesn't know much about the Amish.

I agree that it's a surprise the Amish voted.
I believe that our Ohio community is now larger than Pennsylvania's. Next time we visit them, I'll inquire as to whether they voted. Be real surprised if they did.
