The 1860 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 6, 1860, as part of the 1860 United States presidential election. State voters chose five electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Wisconsin was won by the Republican Party candidate Abraham Lincoln and his running mate Hannibal Hamlin. They defeated the Democratic Party candidate Stephen A. Douglas and his running mate Herschel V. Johnson. Lincoln won the state by a margin of 13.85%.

This was the last election until 1904 that Calumet County would vote for a Republican candidate. Additionally, Manitowoc County and Jefferson County would not vote Republican again until 1896. Green Lake County, established in 1858 and participating in its first presidential election, voted for Lincoln and would continue to back the statewide winner in every presidential election until 1940.

Notes

[edit]

^ Some third party sources for the county figures use this elector, but his county figures only add up to 887
^ Based on totals for highest elector on each ticket
^ This table uses the results for Elmore, which actually do add up to 888; many sources cite Pierpont's figures, which differ as follows: 1 in Clark (instead of 2), 10 in Manitowoc (instead of 9), and 27 in Richland (instead of 28). Using Pierpont's results, however, causes the county figures to add up to 887, not the stated 888.
^ Based on highest elector on each ticket
^ Includes 10 Scattering votes
^ Includes 7 Scattering votes
^ Lincoln's margin over Breckenridge
^ The canvass lists Chandler with 37 votes in Milwaukee County, the same as the other four Constitutional Union electors, but that figure might be a mistake. If 37 is correct, then Chandler only received 160 votes statewide. The figure of 38 comes from contemporary third party sources, such as the 1861 Tribune Almanac.
^ Includes 41 Scattering votes
