CLEVELAND -- The popularity of early voting has Ohio's top elections official considering another try at expanding the locations where voters can cast ballots before Election Day.
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner wants to let each county open four early voting locations in the 35 days before an election. Ohio allows only one early-voting center per county.
Brunner says she will gauge whether there's interest in changing the law when she convenes a bipartisan election summit next month.
The Democrat tried to amend a House bill this year to expand early voting locations, but the Republican-led legislature denied her request.
Early voting prior to last week's election was credited with shortening the lines on Election Day.
