COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state’s top elections official
says online voter registration can be implemented in Ohio as soon as
state lawmakers pass it.
Secretary of State Jon Husted said Thursday that a lack of online registration is one of
the presidential battleground state’s voting deficiencies.
Republican
leaders who control the state House and Senate say their GOP caucuses
have not taken positions on the issue. Senate President Keith Faber
(FAY’-bur) says his fellow Republicans have mixed feelings on letting
residents register to vote online.
Husted and the leaders
discussed their policy plans for the year at a legislative preview
session for journalists, organized by The Associated Press.
Others
scheduled to appear at the forum include Democratic legislative
leaders, Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik), Auditor Dave Yost and
Attorney General Mike DeWine.
