Far from over- whelming support, he received only 39 percent of the popular vote,

Yo, Judge. Lincoln received 180 electoral votes, 59.6% of the total. He won every state he carried by a clear majority except for California and Oregon. Had he not carried those states, he still would have had 173 electoral votes - 21 more than necessary.

The Judge references the 'popular vote'. You either didn't read the sentence correctly or you're practicing the standard NS MO of dishonest discourse.

This is killing you ain't it, NS. A well educated yankee judge validating all the arguments that I and others have been having with you for years.
