Some key Ohio Republicans are talking about changing the election law their party passed last year. And they want lawmakers to act before voters get a chance to decide the issue this fall.

The law would curtail early and absentee voting, and make other changes. But most of the changes are stalled because opponents of the law gathered enough signatures to force a voter referendum in November.

Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State, Jon Husted, says all that is causing confusion, and lawmakers should change the law as it is on the books.

But some voting-rights advocates say now is not the time to do that. Greg Moore of Fair Elections Ohio says applying one set of rules to the March primary and another to the November general election could confuse voters.
