Local county clerk David Orr said: &amp;quot;If only all voters showed such determination to vote. &amp;quot;My hat goes off to Galicia for not letting anything get in the way of voting. What a terrific example she is showing for the next generation, especially her new son or daughter.&amp;quot; Malone added: &amp;quot;I never voted before so this made a major difference in my life.
