An elderly man who keeled over in his voting booth while casting his ballot in the US election had one question when
The man, who has not been identified, was reportedly at a voting centre in Southfield, Michigan, with his wife when he suddenly slumped in his seat.
Home care nurse Ty Houston was filling out his vote nearby and said he saw the man's wife try to get a response from her husband before screaming for help.
Mr Houston said he quickly laid the man, who had had a tracheotomy, on the floor and started performing CPR.
"He was dead, he had no heartbeat and he wasn't breathing," he said.
"I started CPR and after a few minutes he revived and started breathing again."
When he regained consciousness there was just one thing on the man's mind.
"The first question he asked was 'did I vote'?" Mr Houston said.
Stunned, the man's wife quickly told him that whether he voted was the least of his concerns.
According to Mr Houston the man then told her that there were two things important to him: "One that I love you,
and that I finished what I came here to do, vote."
Emergency services transported the man to a local hospital.
A clerk at the voting centre, Sharon Tischler, confirmed the incident but said she did not know the name of the man or his wife.
