California: Signatures handed in against Downey Councilwoman

Signatures have been submitted a second time against Downey Councilwoman Catherine Alvarez. This is the second go-around, as the first petitions came 35 signatures short of qualifying (Petitioners handed in 4,016 signatures and need 3454 valids).  The recall is reputed to be over Alvarez's failure to disclose her criminal history, where she was arrested for welfare fraud and shoplifting. Petitioners claim they collected 4210 signatures (they seem to have gotten 4500, but removed some). They now need 3471.
