My point being, Lincoln at least held the election to maintain the veneer that the country was still a democracy, and presumably would have stepped aside if he had lost.
After all the shit he pulled in the Civil War, I'm more convinced Lincoln would Fortify™ the election if it ever looked like he could lose. He'd also be the first one to break Washington's two-term tradition instead of FDR and become the first Eternal President. We were only spared from this particular timeline thanks to John Wilkes Booth.
