LOOK: Which Beachwood Precinct Voted for Romney?

We narrowed down the results to the precinct in Beachwood and pinpointed the only precinct that went to Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney.

Beachwood is traditionally a left-leaning city, and this election was no different.  Only one precinct out of the city's 10 went to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Tuesday's general election. President Barack Obama won the national election, and in Beachwood, he won by a wide margin. See Beachwood's raw numbers here. Even when the candidate was homegrown, Beachwood did not support the Republican: Josh Mandel, a Beachwood High School alumni, didn't win a single precinct in Beachwood. Check out the map and two charts to the right to see the locations of Beachwood's precincts and how your neighbors voted. 17% Are you surprised that one Beachwood neighborhood went to Romney?

While Cuyahoga County is a Democratic stronghold, Republicans needed to perform well in the suburbs to shave off votes from the president's total. While Romney performed better in Beachwood than he did countywide — he won 32 percent of Beachwood's vote to Cuyahoga County's 30 percent — he did not do enough.  In addition, Beachwood residents also chose Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown over GOP challenger and hometown native Josh Mandel. Though all three of these races skewed far to the left in Beachwood, interestingly, the race with the highest percentage of votes for the Republican …
