Lincoln-1865908 Republican
Douglas-1380202 Northern Democrat
Breckinridge-848019 Southern Democrat.

Remember I am looking at it as if ONLY the public votes counted without an Electoral College (a Democrat dream).

If ONE Democratic candidate ran and got this many votes, he beats Lincoln with a total of 2228221.

Probably more if South Carolina didn’t have a real weird election process.

Popular votes don't elect a president. Electoral votes do.
