— Arizona recall election: Republican state Senate President Russell Pearce faced a recall election on Tuesday, and results with all precincts reporting show that he is losing to Republican challenger Jerry Lewis by 1128 votes. Pearce was a key architect of SB 1070, the state’s controversial immigration measure signed into law last year.
The Arizona Republic reported that Pearce all but conceded defeat, though elections officials said there were thousands of early and provisional ballots yet to be counted.
