No. The Nazis had far more support than they did. And had actual success at the polls. Moreover, they took their support from other right-wing parties.

With no Hitler, the Nazis never get anywhere, and disband by the mid-1920s.

Other right-wing parties possess the votes that the Nazis did otl. Either the leader of the largest of these - likely the German National People's Party - or a general gets named Chancellor.

As I've said: the entire "left-wing" of the political spectrum in Weimar Germany never managed more than 36.5% of the seats, and the two sections in it hated each other. The rest was all "right-wing" parties.

There is just no remote way that the Communists could take power. For that matter, neither could the Social Democrats.
