Man Takes Ambulance To Polling Place
WEST VIRGINIA...
A Philadelphia-area man didn't let an ambulance ride stop him from casting his vote.
Eighty-three-year-old Charles Gorby persuaded an ambulance crew to stop and let him vote Tuesday as they transported him home following a two-week hospital stay.
Since the polling place was only about a block from Gorby's Havertown home, the ambulance crew agreed.
Gorby voted from a stretcher with his legs sticking out from under the voting booth's curtain.
Gorby told the Delaware County Daily Times he felt it was his responsibility to make it to the polls if he was able. He told the paper "voting is the least you can do" as a citizen.
