Did women voters support Lincoln or his opponents?

Nope.

This is a joke message, right? You're trying to lighten the mood because of the war and the gas prices and groceries being unaffordable and the insane heat wave here in California despite the fact that it's March, right? You're trying to add some levity because we're living through a hellish nightmare where we wake up every day and realize that Donald Trump is still President for nearly three more years and that even if something happened to him, we'd be stuck with JD Vance. That is what you are doing, right? Because you're not seriously asking me how women cast their votes -- in the United States -- in the Presidential elections of 1860 and 1864. Right?

Right?!?

Because if this is a serious question, here are more pictures to help answer your question instead of words because I'd probably use a lot of profanity otherwise:

(But here are some words, too, just to be perfectly fucking clear: the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote was ratified on August 18, 1920 -- which means women in the United States weren't able to vote in Presidential elections until Harding vs. Cox in November 1920. And, if you were a woman of color, that right wasn't protected by the federal government until 1965 -- and is currently in danger once again.)

Wonder Woman Votes by Ramona Fradon

day four of making you all want to listen to SUFFS

involves two black women suffragists, directly bringing up lynching multiple times as that is what one of the suffragists specifically advocated against. both get songs and are not characterized as the enemy, along with calling out the white main characters on their playing down of black women's involvement

"And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go."
