Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner wants to eliminate a requirement that Ohio use only federally tested and approved voting systems.

It’s a move that would allow counties to buy new equipment certified only by the state as soon as the November election.

Florida and other states are also looking into the move, saying it’s taking too long for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to approve up-to-date federal standards and certify new voting systems with the latest technology.

Critics say Ohio should not rush into using new voting systems that haven’t been federally approved and tested for problems.

The move would require changing a state rule that says Ohio cannot approve a voting system without federal certification.
