Notes
- Since New York voted for presidential electors directly, the totals below are based on the highest elector on each ticket.
- The figures below are the votes for David C. Judson, one of two Democratic electors who received 361,986 votes. Judson's county by county figures add up correctly to the stated total. Some sources, namely the 1865 Tribune Almanac, cite the county results for Washington Hunt, but those county figures do not add up correctly.
- Includes Hamilton County
