James Buchanan Democratic Abraham Lincoln Republican The 1860 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 2, 1860, as part of the 1860 United States presidential election.

Missouri was won by Democratic candidate Stephen A. Douglas, by a very narrow margin of 0.26%.

This was also the last election until 1984 in which Monroe County did not vote for the Democratic candidate.

This was the first time in American history that four candidates each won at least one county in the same state, something that has only been repeated in 1912 (in North Dakota and in Kansas).

[1] Missouri was also the only slave state in which Lincoln won any counties.
