Original Note:
There were no ballots with listed candidates during Lincoln's time. Names were written on blank scraps of paper. Removing a name from a blank paper would be impossible. Government provided ballots with listed candidates didn't start until the 1880's, 20 years after Lincoln. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/this-is-what-democracy-looked-like
