Yeah, even if you combined ALL of the non-Lincoln votes together into one hypothetical candidate, Lincoln STILL would've won despite winning less than 40% of the popular vote against a "candidate" that would've won over 60%. That kinda blows your mind but it's mathematically true... Lincoln basically campaigned in only half of the country, & his vote totals showed that. It was the electoral college that saved him in the end, & even a unified Democratic ticket probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him.
