CLEVELAND, Ohio — Despite dropping out of the presidential race nearly two weeks ahead of Ohio’s primary election day, Nikki Haley claimed victory over Donald Trump in three Cuyahoga County towns, according to recently released precinct data from this month’s primaries.
Without any formal opposition remaining but with the names of four other candidates still on the ballot, Trump picked up nearly three-quarters of the vote overall in Cuyahoga County, well ahead of Haley’s 21%.
Yet Haley won Shaker Heights, 55.2% to 34.7%, over Trump, Orange, 46.8% to 42.4%, and Bentleyville, 49.5% to 41.9%. Hayley suspended her campaign on March 6, two weeks after early voting began in Ohio on Feb. 21 but two weeks before the March 19 election. The other Republican candidates dropped out earlier.
Joe Biden also experienced resistance in Cuyahoga County, potentially as part of what has been described as a protest vote. He defeated Dean Phillips, 88% to 12% in the county, matching national trends.
But how did each candidate perform in every Cuyahoga County city, village and township?
Even though Donald Trump had secured the nomination before Tuesday’s vote in Ohio, close to 28% of the Republican voters in Cuyahoga County picked someone other than Trump.
This means that 1-in-4 Republican primary voters voted for one of four other candidates. Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and Haley were on the ballot because they dropped out of the race or suspended their campaigns too late to be removed.

Trump won in 56 of the county’s cities, villages and townships. Haley won Shaker Heights with 470 votes to Trump’s 296, Bentleyville, 52 to 44, and Orange 130 to 118.
All other candidates who dropped out of the race did not have sizable support from any Cuyahoga County community.
Places where Trump claimed 80% or more of the vote included Parma (81.9%), Garfield Heights (83.6%), and Brook Park (86.3%). Trump claimed 100% in Highland Hills but there were only 4 voters there. He took Newburgh Heights with 60 votes, or 88.2%.
For Biden, Cuyahoga County fell in line with the national trend of Democrats voting for someone other than the president - sometimes called protest votes.
In places like Ohio, where “uncommitted” isn’t an option, around 12% have voted for a candidate other than President Biden, like Phillips, the chief executive of Phillips Distilling Co., who was on the ballot in Ohio as opposition to Biden.
Phillips’ support - or the opposition to Biden - was over 20% in three cities in the county. Nearly a quarter of Newburgh Heights, with less than 100 voters, voted for Phillips at 24.4%. This was followed by Brooklyn (20.6%) and Brook Park (20.3%).
However, more than a third of cities showed more than 90% turnout for Biden, including South Euclid (90.9%), Cleveland Heights (91.4%), Rocky River (91.6%) and Shaker Heights (94.1%). Biden gained 100% in Linndale (4 votes) and Hunting Valley (22 votes),
The historic median protest vote in the 21st century is 7%.
Protest votes occur in elections for various reasons, but current events seem to be a driving factor in this election cycle. In states like Michigan, where 13% of voters choose “uncommitted,” activists urged voters to vote in protest over President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
These totals are based on unofficial election results. The final tally must be done by April 9, adding in provisional votes and late-arriving absentee ballots mailed in time.
