election in Indiana

A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 6, 1860, as part of the 1860 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of the former U.S. representative from Illinois's 7th congressional district Abraham Lincoln and the senior U.S. senator from Maine Hannibal Hamlin defeated the Democratic ticket of the senior U.S. senator from Illinois Stephen A. Douglas and the governor of Georgia Herschel V. Johnson. The Southern Democratic ticket of the incumbent vice president John C. Breckinridge and the senior U.S. senator from Oregon Joseph Lane polled less than five percent of the vote, but narrowly carried Warrick County, the only county outside the slave states and the Far Western states of California and Oregon to report a plurality for the Southern Democrats. Lincoln defeated Douglas, Breckinridge, and Constitutional Unionist John Bell in the national election with 180 electoral votes.
