Original Note:
Lincoln was not removed from ballots by Democrats or anyone. At the time, votes were either hand-written on blank paper or printed by a political party. Lincoln and the newly formed Republican Party did not campaign in 10 slaveholding states, and issued no ballots in them. https://www.upworthy.com/abraham-lincoln-was-not-barred-from-the-ballot-by-10-southern-states-in-1860
