Story highlights Lines are wrapping around Susan B. Anthony's grave as voters pay their respects

The Rochester cemetery has become a popular election season destination over the years

(CNN) Voters made an Election Day pilgrimage to Susan B. Anthony's gravesite in honor of the pioneering activist who fought for women's suffrage.

Since early voting commenced in October, voters have paid their respects to Anthony by decorating her tombstone with stickers.

The tributes came as Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic presidential nomination this summer -- the first time in U.S. history a woman won such a nod from a major political party.

During the 19th century, Anthony was one of many reformers instrumental in pursuing the women's right to vote and was a tireless activist against slavery and for women's rights throughout her life.

In one well-known incident, in 1872, she was arrested for voting and was indicted. She was tried and fined but refused to pay the penalty, according to the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House website
