Vanessa McGee, of Hartford, puts a sticker on her 1-year-old son, Myles McGee, at Hartford Public Library. It’s her family’s tradition to bring her children to the polls so they understand the voting process. “To have a voice. To have a say in the decisions that are being made for our community and for our country,” Vanessa said about why she wants her children to vote when they grow up. Yehyun Kim / ctmirror.org
