CLEVELAND (Associated Press) -- A second elections board member in Ohio's most populous county quit Thursday, and a state official filed a complaint to remove the two remaining members because of persistent voting problems.

A day after saying he wouldn't step down, Democratic board member Loree K. Soggs resigned, said Cuyahoga County elections board spokesman Alan Melamed.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner had informed the board members Sunday that they had to resign by Wednesday or face removal.

Brunner sent a complaint to the board's two Republicans _ chairman Robert Bennett, the head of the GOP in Ohio, and Sally Florkiewicz. A removal hearing will begin April 2, she said.
