Republicans could see a boost in Pennsylvania from a demographic rarely seen at the polls: the Amish.

The state’s famed “Pennsylvania Dutch” registered to vote in “unprecedented numbers” in response to a January federal raid on a local raw milk farm in Bird in Hand, Pa., a source familiar with the situation told The Post.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture stormed Amos Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after reports of illnesses in children linked to raw dairy products purchased there, according to the local media outlet Lancaster Farming.


Raid on Farm Sparks Debate Over Raw Milk Oversight and Government Overreach

The case of Lancaster County farmer Amos Miller has prompted criticism of government oversight of raw milk, but experts say the product isn’t exempt from food safety laws.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture raided Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after New York and Michigan traced illnesses in children to raw dairy products from the farm.

The raid was the latest of Miller’s issues with state and federal officials.

I have family in PA and that live around Amish communities. They are strict and independent people.


There are about 92,000-94,000 Amish in PA. Perhaps half are of voting age. It would be very interesting to know how many Amish actually registered and voted. Apparently Amish voted in significant numbers in the 1950s when their children were on the verge of being forced to attend public schools.

Who knew the Amish were such criminals, selling illegal milk. They should be able to sell raw milk. Only hipsters drink that crap. Who cares if they get sick and die. The less people who correct me when I say “record” instead of “vinyl”, the better!

People laughed when I mentioned the Amish on here a month ago. Scott Presler was aggressively registering them in Pennsylvania.

What sucks about being Amish is that you have to deal with all the climate change while trying to pretend you can be completely insular and independent. And you don’t even get the benefits of HVAC.

Oh they are big criminals. They don’t think laws apply to them. Don’t let those costumes they wear fool you.

Aren't they the ones covering up child rape within their community? "No one helped me when I told them he hurt me."

Um, PA Department of Agriculture isn't "feds"

And, it sounds like he's had a long line of run-ins with the law over this, seems to me that being strict would be following the law. It should also be noted that the laws he was in violation of were passed by a Republican-run PA general assembly.

But as always the right wing finds some way to blame all Democrats for anything and everything.

Meanwhile I still think we need answers regarding the Trump campaign's boast that they registered 180,000 Amish in PA which far exceeds the number of actual voting-eligible Amish and of those 180,000 registrations, how many were accepted and used to cast ballots.

Why does your thread title say “feds” when it was the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture?

What’s wrong with drinking raw milk?

If someone wants to, they should be able too. Most posters on this forum think people should be able to do all the weed they want. But knowingly selling or drinking unpasteurized milk should get you raided by a SWAT team?


This sh!t is why y’all lost.


Because you’re nuts.

No one drinking raw milk was investigated. The person selling unsafe raw milk that was sickening children was investigated because selling contaminated milk is against the food safety laws passed by the Republican Pennsylvania state legislature.

Knowingly is the operative word. Apparently the buyers did not know the milk was unpasteurized and caused a lot of people to get sick. Surely you can understand that. Or do you not care about the quality and safety of the food you serve your children. Sad.

If I’m buying milk directly from a dairy farm, and there’s no label on it that says “pasteurized”, then a reasonable person should assume it’s probably raw milk and it *might* have pathogens in it. I’d call that “informed consent”. They CHOSE to buy it and give it to their kids. They weren’t being deceived.

I make the *choice* to eat sushi and raw oysters. I know there’s a small chance I could get sick. Maybe even die. Don’t care. I’m still eating sushi and raw oysters.

I made the choice. Otherwise I’d be eating cooked seafood instead. But cooked fish is for Puritans. Yuck.

Typical right wing dishonesty, that's why.
