CLEVELAND, Ohio - Dennis Kucinich, whose roots politically track back to being a Cleveland councilman and then mayor, lost to Richard Cordray statewide and in Cuyahoga County in Tuesday's gubernatorial primary, but he won in his hometown and some suburbs.

Kucinich carried the election day Cleveland vote, 15,064 to 13,643 over Cordray, according to the unofficial tally.

Note: This story has been updated to include the unofficial totals for both absentee and in-person ballots cast. A previous version of this story included only in-person voting.



Kucinich also won in Bedford Heights, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, East Cleveland, Garfield Heights, Linndale, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights and North Randall.

Yet, Cordray won in five times as many places in Cuyahoga County, rolling up an easy win over Kucinich in his home county (53.5 percent to 39.3 percent) and by an even wider margin statewide (62.3 percent to 22.9 percent).

Four other candidates split the remaining votes. (See complete city-by-city vote below.)

Kucinich, a member of congress from 1997 until 2013, ran for president twice. In 2004, both John Kerry and John Edwards out-polled Kucinich in his home 10th congressional district. In 2008, he withdrew from the presidential race before the Ohio primary.
