JUDGE FINDS MANIPULATION IN AZ RECALL VOTE  Mexican immigrant Olivia Cortes disappeared from the political scene last week as Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce’s opponent in the forced recall election. Critics of Mr. Pearce’s crackdown on illegal immigration collected enough signatures to force the vote next month and recruited Ms. Cortes in an effort to split the anti-Pearce vote, particularly among Latinos, a judge later found.Her candidacy began falling apart after another conservative candidate, Jerry Lewis, began his own campaign and went to court to challenge Ms. Cortes’ election bid as a sham. The judge has not ordered her name removed from the ballot but did say the evidence suggested that some of her so-called supporters really supported Mr. Pearce. |
