    The sect around me does not vote as a rule. They use voting as a threat whenever the English try to enact some rule that affects their situation.

    In the past 20 years these restrictions on their “religious freedom” have included the following:

    License plates and road taxes for buggies

    Helmet requirements for children riding bikes on state highways.

    Requiring them to clean up their horse poop scattered on public roads and waterways

    Requiring their children to receive a bare minimum of education.
