To be clear I have no issues with Amish voting. Question was inspired by a few post on social media stating Amish shouldn't be allowed to vote.

“Allowed” is the wrong word. Amish men and woman have voting rights in the US, just like the rest of us. I believe you are asking if they should choose to vote. I encourage you to read the Schleitheim Confession and try to understand the anabaptist understanding of the faith versus the state.

What rationale would you have to prevent Amish from voting? They are US citizens and have the same rights as other US citizens, and that includes the right to vote.

It would be very wrong to single out any one group (Amish or otherwise) and prevent that group from voting.

Sure unless the laws aren't going to apply them. No vote, no laws apply them as they have no representation.

Otherwise it doesn't matter, they have as much right to vote as any other human being.

Your right to vote should be revoked for asking such a stupid question.

Your right to vote should be revoked for asking anonymously.

Of course. Although there are so few of them that it's not going to make any difference either way.

Why not? they have voting rights like the rest of us.

Why wouldn't they be allowed to vote?

They are citizens.

They can vote if they register to vote.

I would think they'd vote. They are United States citizens.

[LazerBean]

Of course, there's no reason to not.

[joeldalton]

Why wouldn't they be able to?

[WhitneySnow]

Of course

Yes, why not?
