We don't want to hear anyone complain about voting again. A pregnant woman in the Chicago suburb of Dolton stopped to vote on her way to the hospital to give birth yesterday. 21-year-old Galicia Malone visited the New Life Celebration Church (ironic name, huh?) to cast her vote, when her water broke. She went into labor at 3 a.m. CST when she arrived at the polling place, but refused to go to the hospital until she had voted.

“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," she told  told WBBM-AM and FM. Once she finished voting, she drove herself to South Suburban Hospital. That's dedication, folks.
