I think we should all write in Signal the Geofrog for President of the United States!!!!! I am posting his stance on major issues so you may consider his eligibility:
Immigration: "I think we should go Geocaching in another country!"
National Security: "I think we should go Geocaching with mosquito repellent!"
Education: "I think we should take the kids Geocaching!"
Healthcare: "I think we should go Geocaching and drink more water!"
Economy: "I think we should make a large garden, grow tomatoes, and sell them to get more money for gas to go Geocaching!"
To get Signal elected, all you have to do is get the majority of Electoral College votes and find and sign the log. As it stands now there are 538 Electors. For every state (and the District of Columbia) in which you have found at least one geocache, you receive the amount of electoral college votes allocated to that state. Total up the amount of Electoral College Votes you have accumulated. To qualify for this challenge, you must gain enough Electoral College Votes and Signal will be "Mr. President!" This requires 270 or more. This can be done with as few as 11 states, or it could take as many as 41 states. I have included a map and list of states along with their respective number of available votes. You can do a manual vote tally or you can vote electronically with the provided checker. This challenge will continue to use the numbers on this map/list even if the actual number of Electoral College Votes changes in the future. Good luck!

As with all new Challenge Caches, the CO must have done the same qualification. I have 531 votes of the possible 538 votes having found a cache in all 48 lower States plus DC as evidenced in my profile stats.
