Lancaster County is the most Republican county in the state that isn't culturally part of Appalachia. You could teleport Lancaster County to the rural Midwest and it would fit right in.

Lancaster is actually a very populated county and the Amish make up less than 10% of the population.  There are other Anabaptists that live there are more engaged in the world (and vote), primarily the Mennonites.  It actually has moderated some as it's become more populous and diverse.

I can vouch all of this. I have relatives from Lancaster, and the Mennonite community is definitely more integrated into society than the Amish.
