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.

Lincoln was not a candidate on the ballot. I know of no election where a candidate not on the ballot can recieve a popular vote majority from that same ballot. Your website only says that Democrats won the legislature though Republicans won greater numbers of votes in legislative races for their respective districts. Nowhere does it say that Lincoln won the popular vote, which he physically could not have seeing that there was no popular vote for his name as a candidate on the ballot.
It was Lincoln, not Douglas who won the White House.
Uh, Walt. That was a different race two years later. Try again.
