Thanks, I did.

Lincoln got four of seven EC votes despite behind slightly behind in the total popular vote. The reason was an internal Democratic Party dispute.

Why this should be considered scandalous or a consequence of cheating by Lincoln or the Republicans is a mystery.

The fact that electors are supposed to vote for the person who won the most votes in their state? Douglas won the state, he should have received all 7.
