How did lincoln become the leader of the new republican party

voters in the United States went to the polls and an election that ended with Abraham Lincoln as president and an act that led to civil war with Lincoln's Victory did not have it on that date his victory wasn't a short for once Lincoln was a candidate for the newly-created Republican party which officially wanted to limit the exposition of slavery. dont know if this helped but good luck

polling is a process and the outcome is not involved in the process itself.

the outcome, which is an unfavorable rating for a particular candidate is not affected by the mechanical process of polling.

it rather depends on the number of people voting in favor of the candidate.

this is an outcome of people's preferences.
