After casting their ballots in the midterm elections on Tuesday, women flocked to Susan B. Anthony’s grave in Rochester, New York, to show their gratitude for her service to the women’s suffrage movement.

The proud female voters placed their “I Voted” stickers on Anthony’s headstone in a practice that has become something of an Election Day tradition. Dozens of the stickers adorned her gravestone after the 2016 presidential election.

The first people arrive at 7:05am here at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY to place their “I Voted” stickers at the grave of Susan B. Anthony. It was November 5, 1872 when Anthony illegally voted in the presidential election, resulting in her arrest. #ElectionDay @News_8 pic.twitter.com/4yklblxbqY — John Kucko (@john_kucko) November 6, 2018

Anthony helped propel the women’s voting rights movement forward in 1872, when she was arrested for illegally voting on Election Day. Nearly 50 years later, the states ratified the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote nationwide.

“There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers,” Anthony famously said.

She likely would have been thrilled to know that women are running for elected office in record numbers in 2018 and that women voters will be a major factor in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

An #ElectionDay Tradition: For many years, voters have come to the gravesite of Susan B. Anthony in Rochester, NY and placed their “I Voted” stickers here.

Despite the ratification of the 19th Amendment, many women of color were still barred from voting in some states until the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965.

Some Twitter users posted emotional tributes to Anthony, while others called out her commitment to white women’s voting rights over the rights of people of color.

“Thank you, #SusanBAnthony,” one woman tweeted. “I cannot even imagine a world in which I would not have the right to vote. Your legacy ― women voting, running for office, and more!”

Another woman wrote, “I know we’re all feeling great about voting & thanking our girl Susan B Anthony for getting us here but remember that she was great & all but she was a racist and only lobbied for white women to get the privilege to vote, not [women of color].”

I know we’re all feeling great about voting & thanking our girl Susan B Anthony for getting us here but remember that she was great & all but she was a racist and only lobbied for white women to get the privilege to vote, not WOC. #Midterms2018 — Lauren (@highoffjesus) November 7, 2018

The 19th amendment was passed and gave women the right to vote. Women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Caddy Stanton were arrested, beaten, force feed and slandered publicly to gain those rights for themselves and others. You have a right. You have a voice. Go. Vote. pic.twitter.com/d53mfn1YJu — Vanessa Brown (@nessabrown27) November 6, 2018
