A South Carolina woman who tripped on the way to a polling place on Feb. 24 and broke her hip refused to be loaded into an ambulance unless she could cast a vote in the state Republican primary for former President Donald Trump.

Valerie Johnson, who is now recovering from hip surgery at an area hospital following her fall in the parking lot on the way to a polling place at the White Knoll High School in Lexington, South Carolina, told The Epoch Times that she tripped over her own feet when she was hurrying in to vote for President Trump.
