" In April, a few dozen voters left their “I Voted” stickers on the tombstone of suffragist Susan B. Anthony’s gravestone after the New York primary. It was a sweet, inspired little gesture.

One visitor said the wait was more than an hour.
The city of Rochester anticipated the influx of pilgrims. Last week, Mayor Lovely Warren—the first female mayor of Rochester, as it happens—announced the cemetery’s hours would be extended to 9 p.m. on Election Day to accommodate the extra visitors. The city planned to install poster boards for the spillover “I Voted” stickers and is handing out its own stickers with a photo of the pioneering suffragist reading, “I Voted Today Because of Women Like Her.” "
