Mexican Supreme Court Blocks Part of President's Electoral Reform

The Mexican Supreme Court overturned part of a set of electoral reforms supported by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador that were rushed through Congress without proper debate.
The invalidated section included reforms to Mexico's National Electoral Institute, which runs the country's elections.
López Obrador criticized the judiciary as "rotten" after the ruling and has supported limiting the elections authority's power and budget.
The ruling raises the possibility that other recently approved laws could also be struck down for the same reason.
Critics argue the reforms would have weakened Mexico's democracy ahead of presidential elections next year.
