Good to know
- Southern states that had seceded did not take part. Electoral votes from Louisiana and Tennessee were not counted.
- Some electoral votes were split within states, cast by faithless electors or not counted, so the coloured states do not add up exactly to the official totals shown here. Each state is coloured by the party that won most of its electors.
