So with 2012 districts. Also I did it by looking at the county results and just guessed so don't expect every single district to be 100% accurate here, but I'd like to think its close.

That western MN district only had a handful of counties in it that actually voted and the blank district in it is entirely within a county that did no vote.

I love how it was really two separate elections at the same time as opposed to one 4-way election. Lincoln vs Douglas in one part of the country and Breckinridge vs Bell in another.

Missouri's congressional districts split FOUR ways? Not surprising, but I doubt that's happened before or since. (1824, maybe? Did Debs win any districts in 1912?)
I was gonna say there is a strong chance for Illinois 1824, but I just checked, they only had one district at the time. That was the only state where all 4 where competitive.

It is quite striking just how much support John C. Breckinridge had out west, even in the two officially free states of Oregon and California.

Also, how come neither Breckinridge or Bell win any districts in the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana which were settled by Southern descendants? 

A lot of southern folk moved out west to mine if I'm not mistaken. Also southern Illinois was Douglas's home turf

PA was the toughest to do, those gerrymanders are brutal.

The Taylor district in Iowa had just one county voting in it.
