AZ: Pearce recall election 3 candidates poised to be on ballot

Edited on Fri Sep-09-11 08:59 PM by ChandlerJr

It looks like there could be three candidates on the Nov. 8 recall ballot in west Mesa's Legislative District 18 - all three are Republican and Mormon: Senate President Russell Pearce, Jerry Lewis and Olivia Cortes.

Friday was the deadline for candidates to turn in at least 621 signatures from district voters required to qualify for the ballot.

Lewis turned in his signatures weeks ago and added a couple hundred on Friday, bringing his total to about 1,400. Cortes' campaign, which has become enmeshed in controversy, filed 1,177 signatures Friday afternoon.

Not 1 Democrat would even try.
