Voters pay homage at suffragist's grave

Susan B. Anthony played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Her grave in Rochester, New York state, has become a place of pilgrimage, in particular in the lead up to and on US election days. Deborah Hughes is from the Susan B. Anthony Museum and House. She told Julian Marshall about the scene there on polling day.
