Yep I've seen Amish people on home brew e-scooters, driving side by sides and having smart phones. Usually it's very case by case thing but then again I saw an amish dude ripping around on a one wheel

I've also heard of an amish community that got pissed at the school system (idk the details but I think some board of education members were assholes to them) but they voted in force for several years voting down school levies until the nearest school building had to be shut down. I don't think they vote unless it directly impacts them, as far as I know
