voter collapses at polling station but insists on casting ballot while ambulance is called
A voter - who used the Twitter name Hedi Lou Who - said she was waiting to vote for the historic election when the man fell ill with chest pain and breathing difficulties.
But instead of waiting calmly for help, the man still insisted on casting his ballot.
It comes as record numbers of Americans are voting - highlighting how serious many are taking this election and the decision between Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.Writing on Twitter, Heidi said: “Older man at polling place having chest pain & trouble breathing, insisted on casting his ballot as the ambulance was called.”

Pictures from the scene - thought to be in Virginia - show ambulances at the scene. The condition of the man is not known.
