Kudos to the Red Bank and Middletown Patches

Unlike the major local news outlet, Patch seems to be taking its duty to inform the public about its most important civic duty….voting….seriously.

Middletown Patch and Red Bank Patch both published Election Guides last week, listing the Municipal, County, Congressional,  U.S. Senate and Presidential candidates who will be on the general election ballot in November.

The Patch editors only made one error and one categorical omission.   They listed the 12th congressional district as including part of Monmouth County which it no longer does.  New Jersey’s congressional district lines were redrawn in January as a result of the 2010 U.S. Census.  Monmouth County is now divided between the 4th congressional district, represented by Congressman Chris Smith-R and the 6th congressional district, represented by Congressman Frank Pallone.  

The 2012-2021 New Jersey Congressional Map can be found here, courtesy of our friends at Save Jersey.

Patch neglected to report that most New Jersey communities will elect their Board of Education members in November, for the first time this year.

MMM salutes Patch for bringing elections to their readers attention and encourages them to continue to do so.  The error and omission were easy mistakes to make, as both changes are recent and information about them not easy to find if you’re not a regular reader of a publication that focuses on politics and government.
