Woman in labour votes
A pregnant suburban Chicago woman didn’t let being in labour stop her from voting in her first presidential election.
Cook County Clerk David Orr reports that 21-year-old Galicia Malone’s water had broken and her contractions were about five minutes apart. But Orr says she still made the detour en route to the hospital to vote this morning at the polls at New Life Celebration Church in Dolton, Illinois.
No word yet on if the baby was born.
