The husband then told Gonzalez that his pregnant wife was waiting in the car while in labor and refused to go to the hospital until she was able to vote.

The staff kicked into high gear, grabbed a vote-by-mail ballot and raced to her car to check her ID.

Gonzalez said she thought the woman would fill it out later, but she said she wanted to fill it out right then.

“So the woman in labor filled out her ballot while doing a little controlled breathing,” Gonzalez said.

Her vote was then certified and put in the ballot box.

“She was very happy she got to vote,” Gonzalez said.
