Escambia Woman Breaks Leg Outside Precinct, Votes Anyway
November 8, 2012
One Escambia County woman was really motivated to cast her vote Tuesday morning.
Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner says a woman fell and broke her leg on the way into a polling place, but still managed to vote.
“There was a report in Escambia County of a woman who had fallen in the parking lot and apparently broke her leg in the parking lot and was carried into the polling place by her husband so she could vote and then transported to the hospital. So we’re grateful for her interest and passion to vote.”
The incident happened at the Mayfair Community Center on South Madison Drive, according to Sonya Daniel, spokesperson for the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office.
Elections Supervisor David Stafford has attempted to reach out to the woman, Daniel said, but so far has been unsuccessful in contacting her.

@Able: The strange, yet predictable end of this election was decided not by people who’d lived/worked/paid taxes but decided by people who’d come here from somewhere else, demanding things. How about that?
I am from here, a disabled Military veteran that works two jobs, pays taxes and volunteers my time to the community and I helped decide the outcome of this election with my vote. Oh the irony that I defended your right to free speech so you can denegrate me and others that voted as I did.
The strange, yet predictable end of this election was decided not by people who’d lived/worked/paid taxes but decided by people who’d come here from somewhere else, demanding things. How about that? The uncles, cousins and grand fathers that died in battle and all their kids voices were silenced by interlopers wanting something. Funny more is that all the talk show depressionists are whineing that we need to be more inculsive and that we need to “reach out” to the interlopers wanting something. It’s true. Our forefathers won the battles, and we collectivly gave away for which they perished. Nice.
@roll tide- I may be a student at MSU but amen to what you said!
Believe me, no one would be that motivated to vote for obama. It had to be for Romney.
I hope you did vote for obama.
That is some American spirit right there. Awesome.
Not to worry,
Her lawyer will be contacting you.
