ABSTRACT
Diminishing opportunities for early balloting, and demanding detailed voter identification are some of the ways that voter suppression occurred in the 2016 election. There are legal ways to protect the right to vote as voter suppression is being challenged in the courts. Court-ordered integration decisions in the 1970s mandated merging school districts, and while mergers were few and far between, some of them remain active. Some school districts have disproportionately large numbers of children from needy families who do not always get necessary extra help in school. Throughout the United States, the threat of affluent families of whatever ethnicity or race leaving school districts has led to policies similar to those found in Morristown and Morris Township. Americans can live in racially mixed communities, some serious problems remain; education in low-income communities needs to be improved.
