Pregnant woman in labor stopped to cast her vote on way to hospital

A pregnant Florida woman didn’t let labor stop her from casting her vote in the presidential election, refusing to go to the hospital until she filled out her ballot.

Officials with the Orange County Supervisor of Elections said the woman was already in labor when she arrived at the polling site with her husband Tuesday afternoon, news outlets reported. Elections employee Karen Briceño González said the husband asked for a ballot for his wife and later told the staff that she was in the car, in labor and refusing to go to the hospital until she was able to vote.

Briceño González said she rushed outside to give the woman her ballot and check her ID. The staffer thought the woman would fill it out later, but while doing some controlled Lamaze breathing, the woman filled the ballot out right away.Elections clerk Eileen Deliz said the couple never mentioned why the woman waited until she was in labor to cast her vote.

“Maybe she wanted to come in-person at one point and that’s why she was waiting, who knows. But she wouldn’t go to the hospital until she voted,” Deliz said.“We are very, very busy, but when something like that happens it just makes our day,” Deliz said. “Every election cycle brings us a great little story.”

What is sad is that this is a story. We have voted for many years and never had problems until this President.

Wow...amazing. wow

I wonder if the Republicans are going to sue her for child endangerment and request to throw out her vote 🗳

I did this 22 years ago!

Was she aware she still has 4 days to vote?

Should just vote absentee 🤪

🙄

I hope she voted Blue!

She couldn’t mail it in🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hope she voted for JoeBiden

ECLamb

Gotta get da right President to pay my welfare for another kid!

Ok this should make everyone feel guilty for making any excuse not to vote. Hope she is ok. 🙏😷

Early votes in Texas surpass total cast in 2016 with Election Day still to goMore than 9 million voters in Texas have already cast their ballots – surpassing the 8,969,226 total votes in the 2016 general election. This is just amazing. Texas, historically, has made it incredibly hard to vote. As a result, in 2016, they had the 2nd lowest voter participation numbers of any other state in the country. In spite of voter suppression in 2020 they're leading the way. Simply amazing. Trump incompetence is going to turn Texas blue. The youth vote is surging in Texas. That energy hasn't died from 2018. ktjazz14
