Mechaman Summarizes the Presidential Elections

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Technically, no one had ballot access in South Carolina, not just Douglas, as there was no ballot.

They still were selecting electors in Legislature?

Yes.  From 1828 to 1860 South Carolina was the lone State still having its legislature (called the General Assembly) choose Electors.  If it hadn't been for the Civil War, it would certainly have continued to do so for quite a while longer.

I wish to mention that the only reason Federal troops were in Fort Sump Pump to begin with was that South Carolina had an inept swindler as governor.  "Hey Feds! We've seceded from y'all, but we're not going to put troops in Fort Sump Pump, because if we did, you'd likely stop paying the people working there to finish it."  Then Governor Pick Hens was surprised that a Kentuckian like Major Anderson would betray the South and move his command from the indefendable Fort Moldy Tree (the one built of palmetto logs back during the First American Revolution) to the defendable Fort Sump Pump.

Governor Pick Hens was then further surprised to learn than President Buchanan actually had enough of a spine to not order Anderson back to Fort Moldy Tree where he would have no choice but to surrender.  "How dare that sissy-boy doughface stand up to us instead of bending over to take it as he always did before!" our inept swindler was conjectured to say.
