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.
