California: Signatures handed in for recall of Downey Councilwoman

Petitioners handed in 4,016 signatures for the recall of Downey Councilwoman Catherine Alvarez. They need 3454 valids to get on the ballot. The recall is reputed to be over Alvarez's failure to disclose her criminal history, where she was arrested for welfare fraud and shoplifting. It would just be a one question vote, with a replacement selected at a later date.
