2008 Regional Registration Progress

[Richard Wallace]

Sorry for double posting; a election-year idea came to me.

Last year I posted a list of US states sorted by the number of FRC teams per million residents. This year, a more interesting metric might be the number of teams per Electoral College Vote (ECV) -- a measure of political opportunity!

As of this morning, US average is 2.53 registered FRC teams per Electoral College Vote. Five states have more than twice the national average: New Hampshire, Michigan, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and Minnesota.
