Early Tuesday morning, dozens gathered around Susan B. Anthony's modest headstone in Rochester's historic Mount Hope Cemetery.
One by one, they stepped forward to place their "I Voted Today" stickers on Anthony's time-worn headstone partaking of an Election Day tradition that has gained new meaning with the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, the former senator from New York, who could become America's first female president before the day ends.
"I'm voting for the first woman president. As a woman, I can vote because of the sacrifices she made," said Gillian Paris of Brighton, who affixed her sticker to Anthony's marker about 7 a.m., shortly after sunrise. It was her first visit to Anthony's grave which made the occasion "a little more special."
