They do to a degree in Ohio. The 04 Bush campaign made a concerted effort to register and GOTV Amish in places like Wayne and Holmes Counties.

Interesting, didn't know that!  I wonder how successful the registration drives were.

Perhaps central to this discussion is why Amish don't, generally, vote.  Is it a specific religious prohibition i.e. Jehovah's Witnesses or is it simply part of a tendency to avoid societal integration?
