Doing this as a special for President's Day. It heavily focuses on precinct results in 13 major cities of the day.

-A fusion slate of Douglas/Breckenridge/Bell won New York City (Manhattan Island only) over Lincoln 65-35. It's thought Lincoln only won 7 of the city's 217 precincts.
-Brooklyn, then a separate city, the Fusion slate won 56-44.
-Lincoln won Buffalo 52-48.
-Lincoln won Philadelphia 51, Reading ticket 28, Douglas 12, Bell 9
-Lincoln won Pittsburgh 66, Reading ticket 26, Douglas 6, Bell 2
-Breckenridge won Baltimore 50, Bell 42, Douglas 5, Lincoln 4
-Bell won Louisville 52, Douglas 36, Breckenridge 12, Lincoln 1
-Lincoln won St. Louis 41, Douglas 37, Bell 20, Breckenridge 3
-Bell won New Orleans 48, Douglas 28, Breckinridge 24
-Lincoln won Cincinnati 46, Douglas 42, Bell 11, Breckinridge 1
-Lincoln won Chicago 57, Douglas 43
-Lincoln won Boston 48, Bell 25, Douglas 23, Breckinridge 4
-Lincoln won San Francisco 48, Douglas 28, Breckinridge 18, Bell 7

Has links to source information and maps are there also of the ward/precinct results.

I've read this, and it's an utterly fascinating project. I've remarked before that McClellan almost won New York State in 1864 because of demolishing Lincoln in New York City. It would be reasonable to assume that McClellan probably got close to 70% of the vote there.

Thanks! I haven't looked for or compiled the 1864 vote. Maybe next year!

You're welcome. That certainly would be fascinating to see, if you ever do get to it.
