Unless you want your name printed on the ballot, you do not need any signatures. Write-in votes are allowed in most , if not all states. If you want to be on the ballot,the number of signatures required varies from state to state from 5000 to something like 45,000. You have to file a separate petition in each state, and of course all signatures must be valid and verifiable. You usually would need to have at least 20% more than the required minimum. You also have to pay a fee in most states. The wikipedia link gives more details.

How a state allocates its electoral votes is up to that state. Most states allocate all electoral votes to the candidate with more votes than any other candidate in that state; this is called a plurality. Note, however, that some states require the electors to cast their ballots in the Electoral College for the winner of the popular vote, but others have no such requirement.

Jefferson therefore became the new vice president. The administration that took office on March 4, 1797, had a Federalist president and Republican vice president. :D
