sure, elected. that’s a consistent facet - and elections happened on the confederate side too.
the fix was, and has been shown throughout all history, not voting harder. it was violence.
elected except for people like John Brown. but you go ahead and keep thinking voting harder is what “fixed” the confederacy.
The confederacy is the side that started the violence when the South Carolina militia attacked Fort Sumter because Lincoln won the presidency on a platform of stopping the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territoy. If the South hadn't fought to keep slaves, the slaves would have been freed without violence.
