Lincoln would win Vermont and Maine.  Those were two of his strongest states in 1860.

A lot has changed since then.

[True Democrat]

I think Jefferson would win some rural states because of his support for farmers.

where can i get to make these maps any way?

Both Jefferson and Lincoln would appeal to rural voters, just different types: Jefferson--isolated wackos living on 20,000 acres in a toolshed; Lincoln--unwashed hippy commune dwellers who grow arugula and other gay vegetables.

Jefferson would lose the urban vote uniformly; philip's arguments about urban dependents and non-landholders being actively denied the right to vote come almost verbatim from Jefferson's tracts.

I think, in the end, Lincoln would win in a landslide, because he pandered to a wider variety of people: rural voters with the Homestead Act; blacks with the Emancipation Proclamation; suburbanites with his support of the Land Grant College Act; economic conservatives with his sky-high tariffs. In the end hockeydude's map is the most accurate.
