President Lincoln believed that if was not reelected in 1864, it would likely end the North's desire to carry on the war. Lincoln wanted to avoid this as much as possible. One step he took was to pressure field commanders to allow troops from Indiana and other states that did not allow troops to vote in the field to grant sufficient furloughs so that soldiers could return home to vote.
