Pearce faces two challengers; Cortes' motives questioned - East Valley Tribune: Arizona

Pearce faces two challengers; Cortes' motives questioned - East Valley Tribune: Arizona: "State Senate President Russell Pearce will face two challengers in the Nov. 8 recall amid accusations one of them is a fake candidate out to split the anti-Pearce vote.
Olivia Cortes filed her signatures with the Secretary of State Friday afternoon, the deadline to enter the race. She joins charter school executive Jerry Lewis.

Unlike Lewis, Cortes does not have a website, hasn't staged events or tried to get any publicity for her campaign.
Recall organizer Randy Parraz said a woman collecting signatures at the Mesa library on Cortes's behalf told passers-by that Pearce supporters would want Cortes on the ballot to dilute anti-Pearce votes. Parraz called Cortes a stealth candidate propped by Pearce supporters. Parraz had an audio recording of the discussion."
