Scott Fistler, twice a loser for electoral office in Phoenix, - TopicsExpress



          

Scott Fistler, twice a loser for electoral office in Phoenix, Arizona, as a Republican, decided in November 2013 that his luck might improve as a Democrat with a name change, and legally became Cesar Chavez, expecting to poll better in a heavily Hispanic, Democratic congressional district. (Cesar Chavez is of course the name of the legendary labor organizer.) Furthermore, according to a June report in the Arizona Capitol Times, Chavezs campaign website features photographs of frenzied supporters holding Chavez signs, but which are obviously scenes from the streets of Venezuela at rallies for its late president Hugo Chavez. (At press time for News of the Weird, a judge had removed Chavez from the ballot, but only because some qualifying signatures were invalid. Chavez promised to appeal.)
