AnnaMariaPetra Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Determined Texas woman, 92, votes in ambulanceBuzz Up Tue Nov 4, 4:22 pm ET SAN ANTONIO – Betty Owen is 92 and after a stroke four years ago, needs a feeding tube and can't walk. But she was determined not to miss Tuesday's election. She arrived at her polling place on a gurney in an ambulance, where an election judge and support worker climbed aboard with an electronic voting machine and let her cast her ballot. "And you have voted," precinct judge Sam Green said after Owen pushed the red button finalizing her choices. "You know, you look so pretty in that red dress." Owen grinned, the San Antonio Express-News reported in Tuesday's online edition. Her daughter arranged for the ambulance ride at the last minute after Owen failed to get an absentee ballot. Owen, a Marine Corps veteran who served in World War II, cast her first ballot for Wendell Willkie, a Republican running against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940. Couldn't she let someone else vote for her? Here in Holland you can give someone power to vote in stead of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika4Life13 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think that it would be an amazing message for the world, if the people of the U.S voted in a person of colour, seeing as the past was so heavily abused with racism. It'd show the world that America is coming out of that and is paving a new future :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we just say MP (member of parliament) But I do declare (*snicker*) we have a different voting system than the states, we go by votes they go by seats, i think.
