On September 13, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a three-sentence order, agreeing with the lower court that the petition to force a recall of Senate President Russell Pearce is valid. The Court said it would issue a full opinion later. Pearce had tried to invalidate the petition. He did not contest the finding that the petition had been signed by enough registered voters. But he argued that the circulators did not complete the certification blank on many of the sheets. The case is Ross v Bennett, cv11-0264-T-AP.
