HERSTORY. Hundreds wait in line for hours to leave “I Voted” stickers on grave of Susan B. Anthony: “The cemetery where women's suffrage activist is buried extended its hours Tuesday “to accommodate those wishing to celebrate their vote” at her gravesite. Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, N.Y., will be open until polls there close at 9 p.m. ET.”

SOUTH CAROLINA. Lindsay Graham voted for Evan McMullin: “‘Well, I voted for Evan,' Graham said. ‘He shares my view of the world, he was on the ballot, and I couldn't go where Trump was taking the party, and I certainly couldn't go where Clinton is going to take the country either. So I was sort of a man without a choice, and I thought Evan was, for a lack of a better word, a protest vote for me,” the senator added. “I couldn't write anyone in in South Carolina.'”

KENTUCKY. Rand Paul reelected. 

THE GEORGE W. BUSHES. George and Laura didn't vote for anyone for president: “ and his wife, however, did vote for down-ballot candidates, according to reports. Reports had suggested both presidents Bush could vote for Clinton, though it was not immediately known for whom the elder bush cast his ballot.”

NASTY WOMAN. Ana Navarro gets a standing ovation on The View: “The ladies then showed a supercut of some of Navarro's most famous moments on CNN over the last year from Navarro calling out Scottie Nell Hughes to her notable catch-phrases like “50 shades of crazy” and calling Trump a racist in two languages. After airing the video the audience cheered, but Whoopi Goldberg stood up from the head of the table and gave Navarro a standing ovation.”

CAKES. There are terrifying Trump and Clinton cakes among us.
