Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has a pocket of supporters in the unlikely area of Pennsylvania’s Amish country.

That’s right — there’s an Amish PAC, and it’s backing Trump. Keep reading... Via Lancaster Newspaper

Pennsylvania could help decide whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton moves into the White House. And a handful of Trump allies tied to Ben Carson and Newt Gingrich are hoping to tip the scales in the swing states by persuading members of the Plain community to go to the voting booth on Election Day. The leaders of this new effort are raising money through a political action committee, Amish PAC, to help spread the word. Keep reading... Via BBC News
