The Amish vote received significant attention throughout the 2024 election cycle as Republican activists worked to mobilize the traditionally low-turnout group.
As the frenzy settles, curiosity about its impact continues.
The hyper-focus was fueled by extensive communities in battleground states, most of all Pennsylvania. It was also an opportunity to bring the historically politically adverse and traditionalist culture under the Grand Old Party’s umbrella.
Some Amish refrain from voting due to beliefs emphasizing separation from “worldly” influences, though a desire for religious freedom and protection from government overreach has drawn more to the polls in recent years.
