CHICAGO (CBS) – The labor vote literally has been cast this morning in the south suburbs.
At 21, Galicia Malone of Dolton is eligible to vote for the first time in a presidential election.
As WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports, she’s also pregnant with her first child. So when her labor began at 3 a.m., she held off going to the hospital until she was able to go to her polling place and vote.
“I never voted before so this made a major difference in my life,” she said. “And I wanted this to be a stepping-stone for my daughter.”
As she worked her way through the ballot, her contractions were coming every five minutes.
