There are more than 350 voting precincts in Cleveland and in all but one, votes for Vice President Harris surpassed those for President-elect Trump in this year's election.
State of play: Harris carried Cuyahoga County with 65% of the vote, according to unofficial Board of Elections results.
- Her strongest base of support was Cleveland's predominantly Black east side.
- Across swaths of multiple east side wards, Trump managed to win only 2-5% of the vote.
The other side (of the river): In Ohio City and Detroit-Shoreway, Trump collected between 15-25% in most precincts.
- Further west and south, in Jefferson and West Park, Trump's support grew to between 30-40%.
Yes, but: Trump's Cleveland stronghold was undeniably Old Brooklyn, which encompasses Ward 13 and the western portion of Ward 12.
- In most Old Brooklyn precincts, Trump support hovered between 38%-45%, the highest across-the-board totals in town.
Stunning stat: In precinct 13-P, which borders suburban Parma, Trump and Harris tied with 271 votes apiece.
Between the lines: Precincts bordering suburbs often reflected higher Trump support than those in neighborhood interiors.
- The Cleveland precinct with the second-highest Trump support by percentage was 16-C (48.9%), a southwest Bellaire-Puritas precinct that forms a border with suburban Brook Park.
- In most of Ward 2, on the southeast side, Trump support was between 2-8%, but in the four precincts bordering Cuyahoga Heights, it skyrocketed to 16-22%.
The intrigue: Tuesday's results suggest that Latino voters nationwide are shifting gradually to the right.
- In Cleveland's Ward 14, which includes Clark-Fulton and the city's densest concentration of Latinos, three precincts had higher than 40% Trump support.
