People putting their 'I Voted' stickers on women's suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony's headstone will see something new this year: a plastic cover.

'I Voted Today' stickers cover a protective plastic cover on the headstone of Susan B. Anthony in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Sunday Oct. 25, 2020. in Rochester, N.Y. ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- People putting their "I Voted" stickers on women's suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony's headstone will see something new this year: a plastic cover.

The sticker trend became popular on Election Day 2016, said Patricia Corcoran, president of the non-profit Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery, in an email. That day, as many as 12,000 people visited Mount Hope Cemetery, the sisters' final resting place, to honour the work done by Anthony to win women's suffrage and to memorialize the first time Americans could vote for a female major-party presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

A restoration effort in spring revealed the damage done to the marble marker by the stickers, Corcoran said. The headstones were already covered in plastic on Saturday, when in-person early voting began in New York.

US always taking away freedoms

I take it individuals do NOT have permission to create 'mischief' in the cemetery. I wouldn't want someone doing that to my family members' gravesites no matter how influential they were.

More examples of the rabid but oh so tolerant left.

B.C. Election 2020: John Horgan's bet pays off and other takeawaysAnxious voters keep rewarding incumbents, the Greens hang on and leadership questions weigh on the Liberals Looks like British Columbians who live along the Eastern Rockies, the Peace Country, the South and Central Interior, and the North East still know how to use their brains to think things through. Good Luck, BC! John deserves the win. He kept every election promise except for 10$ a day day care from a lack of support from the Green Party. Now with a majority can fulfill that too meaning 100%success , a first in BC history. Great job premier Horgan. Your kidding stability where

Vaughn Palmer: B.C. Liberals handed Horgan victory with a badly run, slow-off-the-mark campaignOpinion: Horgan gets to govern unfettered, but Furstenau back to be a thorn in his side That’s why jjhorgan did it that way to kill any opposition in the Legislature. Others trusted daddy Horgan to follow what he had set up; a specific Election Day Does that lead me to trust what he says and does? NOPE. There was suppose to be fixed election dates in BC installed by the Gordon Campbell government. How the hell could Horgan call an early election? How come nobody holds the NDP accountable? Sure helps when you have no time to plan or execute. Horgan planned for months to do this. And it worked out for him. BC must be very concerned about covid since they gave the guy who ran an election during a campaign a majority.

Unprecedented embrace of mail-in ballots belies miserable voter turnout in B.C. electionLess than 52 per cent of registered voters marked a ballot, resulting in early wins for the NDP in 53 of 87 ridings, and the Liberals in 27 48% voted NOTA 32% voted NDP Result: Dissolution of gov't? Naah, NDP. They don't want your consent, they want your compliance. Voters truly are the dumbest people! If you haven’t learned by now not to trust politicians since they never keep their election promises! Voting does not make a difference, so if you still believe that, do yourself a favour, and go get that lobotomy, to help others as well. Because more people are waking up to the fact that it doesn't matter who's in 'office' (not power as they think), they are all corporate whores / order followers & only think of their egos and pocket books! bcpoli
