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.
