TWD Election Fun (& Real) Thread For 11/6/12: Chris Rock's Election Analysis & The Toughest Voter Ever

If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth seeing, just for the Tara Reid reference alone:


But making this more than the usual Fun thread around here is an amazing story of the most courageous voter today, down in Florida. 
In Escambia County, Florida’s westernmost county on the Panhandle, there was a report of a woman falling in the parking lot. She broke her leg, but she still voted.
 She was carried into the polling place by her husband so she could vote and then was transported to the hospital,” Detzner said. “We’re grateful for her interest and passion to vote.”
Don't know if she voted for Romney, Obama, Rocky Anderson, or Mickey Mouse, but you will find it a difficult task to locate a tougher voter than this lady in America today.

More great election stories and coverage from TWD later, stay tuned.

UPDATED: Okay, that broken leg lady has competition:
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.”
Amazing.......Hopefully more awesome stories (and no broken legs), as this election day continues.
