Michigan man dies, is revived at poll—and makes sure he voted
During early voting in Southfield Township in Michigan on Monday, even a near-death experience couldn't keep one elderly voter away from the polls.
Ty Houston was filling out his absentee ballot at the township offices when an elderly woman near him started screaming.
"I was filling out the form as were an elderly couple sitting at a nearby table," Houston, 48, told the Detroit News on Tuesday. "His wife, who was helping him fill out the ballot, asked him a couple of questions but he didn't respond. She screamed for help, and I went over to see what I could do."
A registered home-care nurse, Houston responded immediately, moving the victim to the floor and assessing the situation. "He was dead," Houston said. "He had no heartbeat, and he wasn't breathing."
He started performing CPR, and a few minutes later the man started breathing again. He had a tracheotomy tube in his throat, but could speak."He knew his name and his wife's name," Houston said.
But the victim's first question after his near-death experience took everyone by surprise. "Did I vote?" he asked astonished onlookers.The man's wife tried to reassure him that it wasn't important, but Houston says the man responded that only two things were important: "That I love you and that I finished what I came here to do—vote."
They checked. He had.
EMS arrived on the scene and took the couple to William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, the Detroit News reported. Though the county clerk, Sharon Tischler, confirmed the event, neither she nor Houston knew the name of the victim or his wife.
Houston said he's glad he decided to vote when he did. "It was God's divine word that I be there," he said. "Originally, I was just going to skip the ballot and just go to lunch that day."

I was sort of kidding about you guys being my TV tonight but now I'm serious. I have a digital converter and the last channel just gave out- FOX. Not that I was getting the best news there anyway. So thanks for updates here.

Somewhat. It's mostly due to the ridge that CA Hwy 49 runs along that's in the way. I'm waiting for them to bulldoze it so I can watch all that great day-time TV.

it's over folks. this has been one of the most uninspired elections i can remember. romney had no shot. with all the issues this country is facing and an unemployment rate teetering on 8%, for the republicans not to be able to capitalize on this, it has to tell them something. simply put, this country is devoid of leaders.
given what i do for a living (mortgages), my main issue was housing (which was unbelievably barely mentioned during this 2 year, never ending, election process). HARP and the hope for HARP 3 was why i went against my normal intuition and voted for the incumbent.
wow akin speech was a little heavy on the jesus talk. he did appear to be gracious in defeat. mccaskill speech has a super enthusiastic crowd. people are fired up here in st louis.

Also, might be a little behind but CNN just called the VA senate race for Kaine.
he has looked to be on the verge of tears for the last hour and a half.
i've always liked this guy though.

looks like an obama re-election ... could be a landslide if romney loses both fl and oh
Ha, yeah, I fucking despise Ari Fliescher, but Castellanos seems like the most reasonable Republican pundit there is.
