Women’s suffrage activist Susan B. Anthony once said that “There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”
With the country on the eve of possibly electing a woman to the highest office in the nation, many women are traveling to the grave of Anthony, who died in 1906, to pay tribute to the nation’s best-known suffragists.
Anthony is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY, the same place she was arrested and later convicted of attempting to vote. The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, would not be passed until 1920.
“I voted” stickers began to show up on the headstone of Anthony’s grave sometime in October, according to CNN. The stickers get removed periodically, so the number of stickers varies from photo to photo. But those seeking to pay their respects to Anthony keep showing up.

The FISA warrant was granted in connection to investigate suspected activity between the server and two banks, SVB Bank and Alfa Bank. However, it is thought in the intelligence community that the warrant covers any ‘US person’ connected to this investigation, and thus covers Donald Trump and at least three further men who have either formed part of his campaign or acted as his media surrogates. The warrant was sought, they say, because actionable intelligence on the matter provided by friendly foreign agencies could not properly be examined without a warrant by US intelligence as it involves ‘US Persons’ who come under the remit of the FBI and not the CIA. Should a counter-intelligence investigation lead to criminal prosecutions, sources say, the Justice Department is concerned that the chain of evidence have a basis in a clear warrant.
In June, when the first FISA warrant was denied, the FBI was reportedly alarmed at Carter Page’s trip to Moscow and meetings with Russian officials, one week before the DNC was hacked. Counter intelligence agencies later reported to both Presidential candidates that Russia had carried out this hack; Donald Trump said publicly in the third debate that ‘our country has no idea’ if Russia did the hacking.
To further complicate the story, the FISA warrant was allegedly granted in part because of the involvement of Vladimir Putin’s own daughters. One is married to a senior official at Gazprom, where Carter Page and Paul Manafort reportedly have holdings; another to Kirill Shamalov, a banking official.
