The1860 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 2, 1860, as part of the1860 United States presidential election. Voters chose nine representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Missouri was won byDemocratic candidateStephen A. Douglas, by a very narrow margin of 0.26%. The state was the only one to fully give its votes to Douglas, though he won the popular vote and three of the seven electoral votes fromNew Jersey under afusion ticket.
As of the2020 presidential election[update], this is the last occasion whenPutnam County,Ozark County, andTaney County voted for a candidate running as a Democrat, with the former voting for Douglas and the latter two voting for Breckinridge. This was also the last election until1984 in whichMonroe County did not vote for the Democratic candidate. This was the second presidential election in American history that four candidates each won at least one county in the same state, something that has only been repeated in1912 (inNorth Dakota and inKansas),[1] and1824 (in Illinois andVirginia). Missouri was also the only slave state in which Lincoln won any counties.
