Is your; state, County, Town, and you represented?

I was thinking about our United Stated of America. It led me to look at our flag. Note the fifty stars and their evolution into existence today. Each star represents one of the state but none have a name. When the legendary seamstress attached them she was did not embroider which star represented which state. Our Constitution make no delineation about the states except for the fact that representatives of the states shall meet and select the President of the United State. This procedure gives each state a voice separate from neighbors within the nation. That known procedure today is our electoral college. What is missed in our states and local government is a similar set of voices that gives local voices within our state the ability to be expressed apart or together with neighboring counties or districts. 

New Jersey has twenty-one counties, but only fourteen electoral votes. California has fifty-five electoral votes. 

The Electoral College is a protective system for our State as well as for Delaware which has three Electoral Votes. 

In the County of Gloucester there are twenty-four; towns, cities, townships, boroughs, etc. Our county government has seven Freeholders representing the twenty four division.  Some of the county’s political divisions have wards where the voting takes place. Do the seven freeholders represent individual towns? Actually the voted or elected freeholders could all come from one or several towns, not representative of a minor or major division.

The Township of Washington has thirty- nine voting districts represented by five council seats which could, but not likely, come from one voting district.

 It is time to adopt Wards for our town. What about your town’s government representation?
