Helps With Sources and Notes

[edit]

I want to add a few sources and notes from the 1860 election article to mention that the Democratic vote was actually a fusion ticket. However, the couple things I just put down on the article are not popping up and the bottom of the article is showing an error message. One of the notes/source should read out something similar to this:

  • "The Fusion slate consisted of 3 electors pledged to Douglas, and 2 each to Breckinridge and Bell. Nonetheless, different electors appeared in some counties for Breckinridge and Bell, resulting in lower totals for them and a split electoral outcome. The 3 Douglas electors were elected and 4 of those pledged to Lincoln. The Breckinridge and Bell electors finished behind all other candidates".

Could I please get some help to fix this mess? I also forgot to get the other two notes from the 1860 election, but didn't get them since I didn't know where to place them on the article. --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 14:55, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you GhostOrchid35 for fixing the mistakes with the linking of the notes. --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 13:35, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
