Americans Pay Homage to Suffragette After Voting for Hillary

Suffragette Susan B Anthony was never legally able to vote, so many women paid tribute to her memory on Tuesday.

Voters have flocked to the grave site of revered suffragette Susan B Anthony, covering her grave stone in Rochester, New York with “I Voted” stickers, flowers, and sign cards.

Anthony, a 19th century leader of the suffrage movement, died before women won the right to vote. Still, Anthony got close when she illegally voted in 1872 – though she was later arrested for doing so.

American women first got the right to vote in 1920.

Long lines led up to Anthony’s grave.
