No Walt. He did not. There was no popular vote. There were votes for state legislators, but those votes were not cast solely or even primarily on the issue of the senate race. The names of state legislators were on the ballot. The Lincoln was not.
When the votes were counted, although Lincoln won a slight majority of the popular vote
His name did not appear on the ballot. Therefore he did not win any popular vote.

People knew the issues. The majority voted for Lincoln, just as the website said.
It certainly puts your bizarre idea that Douglas "won" the debates in the shade.
It was Lincoln, not Douglas who won the White House.
It's nonsense to say Douglas won.
But nonsense is your specialty.

But you agree that Lincoln's position was more advanced than Douglas's, right?
Good for the voters of Illinois, right?
Walt
