Almost 150 years after Susan B. Anthony illegally cast a vote in the 1872 presidential election, women are gathering at her grave, leaving their "I Voted" stickers and flowers on her headstone.

In fact, the Mt. Hope cemetery where she rests in Rochester, New York has gotten so inundated with visitors paying homage during this historic election, that the city has decided to keep it open until 9 p.m. on Tuesday night, rather than 5:30 p.m., when it usually closes.

Per Democrat & Chronicle, the city of Rochester is helping to honor Anthony by placing poster boards at the site for visitors to leave their stickers, and will be giving away souvenir photos of Anthony with a special sticker reading, "I Voted Today Because of Women Like Her."

"Visiting Susan B. Anthony's gravesite has become an Election Day rite of passage for many citizens," Rochester's mayor, Lovely Warren, told the paper. "With this year's historically significant election, it seems right to extend that opportunity until the polls close."
