Amish in PA Seeking Drivers to Help Beat Hillary Clinton on Election Day
Trump Conservative ^ | 11/2/2016

Posted on 11/02/2016 1:31:37 PM PDT by Rufus Shinra

Election day is rapidly approaching, and while Hillary Clinton seems busy defending states like Michigan that were already thought to be firmly locked up for her, Donald Trump is on the offensive in historically blue states that could very well end up in his corner.

This year's election is likely to come down to a handful of swing states, and Donald Trump has a tight electoral path to victory, which is why voters in states like Pennsylvania are going to play a pivotal role in outcome of this race.

In a highly under reported story earlier this year, members of the Amish community were found to be quietly rallying behind Donald Trump and attending his events. There's been little to no reporting in previous election years regarding Amish voters, as they typically do not vote in large numbers, but this year's political issues have been particularly impactful in their communities. In fact, an Amish PAC is even seeking volunteers to help drive Amish voters to the polls on election day

From Amish PAC Plain Voters Project website:

Amish PAC needs volunteers to help drive Amish voters to the polls in Pennsylvania. In addition, if you have any Amish friends or neighbors and would like to give them a ride to the polls on Election Day, Amish PAC will provide you with a prepaid gas card.

The purpose of Amish PAC's Plain Voter Project is to beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 by turning out a deeply conservative and often forgotten block of voters concentrated in two key swing states - the Amish.

Amish PAC has no use for internet and television advertising because the voters we're targeting don't use the internet or watch television. Therefore, Amish PAC's ad blitz is two-pronged: Newspapers and Billboards. In addition, Amish PAC is building a large network of volunteers across Amish Country to assist in voter registration and flyer distribution.

This is the same Amish PAC that put up billboards for Donald Trump in Lancaster country, Pennsylvania, and encouraged communities to get involved. In a rare showing of political involvement, Amish voters even showed up to support Trump during his rally in Lancaster County on October 1st.

trump-amish-rally-2

trump-amish-rally-3

Pennsylvania could be the key to victory for Trump, and if the state turns red on election night, then it's a safe bet he has won this election.

If you're in Pennsylvania and would like to help Amish voters make it to the polls, you can visit the Amish PAC's volunteer form here.

Good for you; help them to get to the polls and you will earn many new stars, in your crown in heaven!

The thing is, the Amish rarely, if EVER vote ( I think that voting is sort of frowned upon by their religion ), so this is a HUGE deal! Their votes could give Trump enough of a lead, to help counter Philly's history of massive voter fraud.

Good question. I can only speculate the RAT run PA treats Amish
like the military. Very bad.

I have contributed heavily to the Amish PAC. Between Lancaster County, PA and Holmes County, Ohio, there are about 70,000 Amish. They are very conservative and they understand the threat to religious liberty the progressives represent.
They will turn out in huge numbers for Trump. They did the same for W in 00 and 04.

Good for you! I’d gladly drive them, but there are no Amish near me.

They should’ve voted absentee. Or would it have to be by Pony Express?

Any way we can be sure we don’t have stealth Hillary voters hitching a ride?

70,000 Amish in Ohio? That is a huge block.

I thought the Amish didn’t vote?

Much like the Jehovah’s.

I could be wrong.

Well it’s news to me. This is something that folks (such as me) can volunteer to help out with. I voted early already so, on Election Day, I am able to drive up to Amish country from the People’s Democratic State of Maryland to help drive Pennsylvania Amish Trump voters to & from the polls. Thanks to the OP for posting this in News where I, and others, would be more likely to see it.

BTTT.

Would be nice if the Amish was the deciding factor in PA for Trump, negating the fraud in Philly.

When vacationing in Lanesboro MN, we took a Amish tour. Our tour guide told us that the Amish there don't vote. I guess, this may vary from one community to another.
