AZ candidate Cesar Chavez kicked off ballot

Arizona congressional candidate Cesar Chavez has been kicked off the Democratic primary ballot for the 7th Congressional District seat.

More than 700 of the signatures on his petitions were considered invalid by the county's election recorder. People who signed either live out of the district he is running for or they are not registered voters.

Superior Court Judge John Rea ruled Tuesday that those invalid signatures were enough to eliminate Chavez's name from the ballot.

"I feel like I'm being targeted and I think that what's happening to me, I think it's some kind of retaliation," Chavez said.

Scott Fistler legally changed his name to Cesar Chavez in December.
