Getting Out The Amish Vote

Thanks to Techievampire for the linkage.

The Amish live without electricity, cars, telephones, and usually, without voting. But they are being sought out this year as Republicans try to sign up every possible supporter in presidential battleground states.

Of course the Despocrats have their spin on the phenomena:

Democrats have all but ceded the Amish vote to Republicans.

"If I know Republicans and their grass-roots operations, they'll spend most of their time trying to phone bank the Amish," said Kerry spokesman Mark Nevins.

I used to work in a Republican phone bank, I don't blame any Amishman for not having a phone. Not at all.
