How Lincoln Got Left in 1853 Illinois
A recount of Lincoln's 1853 Springfield political crisis shows a Whig plan to install Jonathan McDaniel over Norman M. Broadwell by secretly distributing McDaniel ballots to Democratic voters after 2 pm on election day. Democrats succeeded, aided by postmaster Isaac R. Diller and a split field of anti Nebraska candidates that blocked Gen Shields. The piece links this tactic to later political maneuvers and notes parallels to later Senate dynamics.
