The final presidential election results are not made until the vote of the Electoral College in December.

However, each state's preliminary totals are shown in the media following the end of voting in each state. By late evening on election day, the result is usually clear, and by tradition includes a concession call (from the losing candidate to the winning candidate). In some cases, this is after midnight Eastern Time.

Because voters go to the polls according to local time, voters in Hawaii (and rarely, in Pacific coast states) may become aware of the likely result before the close of voting in their state.

Douglas was nominated by the Democrats, but a pro-slavery faction walked out of the convention and nominated John C. Breckinridge. There was also fourth party made up of old-line Whigs and hold-overs from the American (Know-Nothing) party, and they nominated John Bell. All four candidates received electoral votes.

In the Senate elections of 1858, Abraham Lincoln lost to Stephan Douglas, the Northern Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 1860.
