Via Don Surber, we find the toughest voter in America.
Heidi Parker, 38, of West Virginia, delivered her seventh child yesterday morning and voted yesterday afternoon...for John McCain!
It took back and forth phones calls involving her husband Matthew, social workers and nurses at a hospital in Maryland and local and state election officials in West Virginia. Ultimately, the Jefferson County Commission voted to allow two clerks -- one Republican and one Democrat -- to hand deliver a ballot to Parker in the maternity ward of Frederick Memorial Hospital. She was expected to cast her ballot Tuesday afternoon.
County Clerk Jennifer S. Maghan said it was the fourth ballot delivered this election to voters who had been hospitalized unexpectedly. That hasn't happened in the past six elections, Maghan said.
Kinda puts to shame all those people who went to get manicures instead of voting, huh?
