COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The state's elections chief is expected to decide Tuesday whether to fire two Democrats from an elections board in southwest Ohio after they pushed to extend early voting hours into the weekend.
Secretary of State Jon Husted initially suspended Thomas Ritchie Sr. and Dennis Lieberman from their positions on the Montgomery County Board of Elections. He then temporarily lifted his suspension last week so the Dayton-area board could continue its work.
A state hearing officer has recommended that Husted remove them from the board for failing to act consistently with his order.
Husted, a Republican, has ordered election boards in Ohio's 88 counties to have the same early in-person voting hours on weekdays and have no hours on weekends.
The board members have said the order was ambiguous.
