TUCSON -- *Despite a recent court ruling that the department run by Maricopa Countys top cop used racial profiling in his quest to crack down on illegal immigration, a recall effort against Sheriff Joe Arpaio has failed.

 

On Thursday, members of Respect Arizona and Citizens for a Better Arizona -- who launched the recall effort against Arpaio -- failed to gather the necessary 335,000 valid voter signatures by the 5 p.m. deadline. The aim was to force a recall election.

 

Activists behind the recall effort would not say how many signatures they were short. Randy Parraz, president of Citizens for Better Arizona, only said the two groups had collected close to 300,000 signatures.

 

(Snip)

 

 

*OK...OK Someone please splain this to me. Joe Arpaio's Dept. is stopping (I assume) Hispanics in order to find illegal immigrants (once again I assume) from Mexico/Central America....Yeah....And? Who are they supposed to look at....Blue Hairs?
