Original Note:
Lincoln wasn't "barred" from the ballot because state-regulated ballots didn't exist at the time. People voted by writing names on blank paper or, more commonly, supporters were given pre-filled out voting slips printed by local State Parties. https://www.upworthy.com/abraham-lincoln-was-not-barred-from-the-ballot-by-10-southern-states-in-1860
