I have such respect for this woman:
For anyone who ever thought they were too busy to vote, meet 21-year-old Galicia Malone.
The south suburban Dolton mom-to-be was spotted at her polling place Tuesday morning on her way to give birth at a local hospital.
Cook County Clerk David Orr said Malone’s contractions were five minutes apart when she showed up around 8:30 a.m. at her precinct’s location named, yes, New Life Celebration Church.
The clerk’s office said Malone’s water had already broken when she made the stop to vote in her first presidential election.
“If only all voters showed such determination to vote,” Orr said. “My hat goes off to Galicia for not letting anything get in the way of voting. What a terrific example she is showing for the next generation, especially her new son or daughter.”
And talk about irony, her polling location was the New Life Celebration Church. Best of luck to you Ms. Malone!
