Pennsylvania is the most hotly contested state in the run up to next month ’s election.

With 19 electoral college votes, it is considered very unlikely for either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris to win here.

90,000 Amish live in Pennsylvania - many of them in the, traditionally Republican , Lancaster County .

Republican group attempts to persuade this small minority with the promise of smaller government.

Steven Nolt is professor of history and Anabaptist studies at Elizabethtown College .

He has tracked the Amish vote for years and doubts some of the Trump campaign's bolder claims.

Half of Pennsylvania ’s 90,000 Amish are under the age of 18 and unable to vote.
