ORANGEBURG, NY – While we were covering early voting at the Town of Orangetown Town Hall, we witnessed an incredible story. An older woman had fainted while standing on the extremely long line to vote. The incident caused a great deal of commotion.

We quickly ran over and observed Town of Orangetown Deputy Supervisor Mike Lawler and candidate for State Assembly, jump right into action. Lawler called 9-1-1, spoke with the woman and elevated her legs to improve blood flow and oxygen.
