In 1860 Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States winning 40% of the popular vote.
Lincoln was very upset when he learned that he received only 6 votes in the county of his birth, Hardin County, Kentucky. It seems that some scandal-mongers were casting doubt about Lincoln's parentage, saying Nancy Lincoln was a prostitute and gave birth to Abraham by another man.
