When i was about 10 years old(1968 or so) my parents bought a board game that was a huge map of the Unites States. Each state had the Electoral Votes listed on it(i.e. California at that time i think had a 44 listed on it and massachusetts a 14 on it)..I don't remember all the specifics but the object was to "win more electoral votes" to become president

I don't believe the game was made by any of the more common game makers(milton bradley/parker brothers) but i could be wrong about that..

Nancy...THANK YOU! I played that game once with friends of mine and I have been wondering about it ever since! I have tried and tried to recall the name of it, but never could. Every election year, I drive myself half crazy trying to remember it.

It must have been a pretty neat game to have left such an impression after only playing it once!
