There are well over 80,000 Amish people in Pennsylvania. It’s been a while since they were completely off the grid (source–I grew up right next to a very large Amish community in western PA). Their ties with the Mennonites, who are generally less restricted, means they know what’s going on in the community and often do business with “the English.” One of my dad’s best small engine repair guys was Amish, and that’s very-not-allowed, at least officially. I can’t say if Vance’s theocratic leanings would hold any appeal to them or not, but depending on how squiggly-wiggly the districts are drawn, they could absolutely make a difference.
