Michigan man votes after being revived at the polls

Apparently, the dead can vote.

According to the Detroit News, Ty Houston helped revive a man who suffered a medical condition while filling out his absentee ballot on Monday afternoon with his wife.

The elderly man, who was not identified, was not breathing and had no heartbeat, but Houston, a registered nurse, performed CPR on the man until he regained consciousness, according to the newspaper.

Once he was revived, the man asked a simple question.

“The first question he asked was ‘Did I vote?’” Houston told the newspaper.

The man, who had a tracheotomy in his throat, took a few more breathes and told his wife that there are only two things that are important to him: “That I love you and that I finished what I came here to do…vote.”

The man was expected to recover.

Houston told CBS that the man’s words should serve as a reminder to fellow Americans that pass on their right to vote.
