Conservative activist Scott Presler is calling for the over 80,000-strong Amish community to vote for Trump in the 2024 election.
Presler operates a voter registration table at the Green Dragon market in Lancaster, Pennsylvania every Friday.
Presler’s stall at the Amish market features several “Amerish for Trump” signs and a stack of voter registration papers for members of the Amish community.
Presler’s actions are not in vain either; many Amish voters who traditionally refrain from voting are registering as Republicans to vote for Trump.
Many Amish are going to the polls this November after authorities conducted a raid on a local farmer selling raw milk earlier in the year.

Per The Telegraph:
Scott Presler, a giant of a man at 6ft 5in tall, his lustrous hair falling in great waves down to his waist, is wearing runners’ shorts showing off his long, tanned legs and what appears to be a smidgen of lipstick. The flamboyant, one-time chairman of Gays for Trump has given himself a new task: to persuade Pennsylvania’s 80,000-strong, strait-laced Amish community to vote for Donald Trump and in doing so, return the former president to the White House. It seems a tall order.
As he does every Friday, Mr Presler is manning his stall at the Green Dragon market, an Amish fair in the heart of Lancaster County, where horses and buggies can be as commonplace as the motorcar.
Stacked up at the stall were dozens of newly printed signs declaring “Amish for Trump” while an elderly couple, distinctive in traditional Amish clothing, approached the stand and signed up for voter registration papers. “My heart just led me to it,” said Edna Stoltzfus, 76, before returning to her own market stall where she sells homemade “canned fruits and vegetables”. Her husband, who declined to give his name, said: “I am concerned about my country,” adding cryptically: “You know why that is.” Both will cast ballots for Trump.
For decades, the Amish have largely declined to vote – one farmer told me they prefer “to put our faith in God” – but this time around may just be different. Angered, if the Amish could ever get angry, by a raid by state authorities on a local farmer selling raw milk, the community appears to be stirring.
In a race as tight as Pennsylvania – where Joe Biden won by 80,000 votes last time – it is not inconceivable that thousands of Amish votes could turn Pennsylvania red.
