The 1944 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election . State voters chose 25 electors to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
Ohio was narrowly won by Republican Party candidate Thomas E. Dewey with 50.18% of the popular vote; Dewey's running mate was incumbent Ohio Governor John W. Bricker . The Democratic candidate, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt got 49.82% of the popular vote. This election was one of only three occasions since 1892 that Ohio has voted for a losing candidate, the others being in 1960 for Richard Nixon and 2020 for Donald Trump .[ 1]
This also marks the last time and the only time since 1884 that Ohio voted for a candidate who never won the presidency, as Nixon would win the White House later in 1968 and Trump was already the incumbent president in 2020.
