TEPJF Draft Urges Validation of TDJ Election, Citing Insufficient Proof on ‘Acordeones’

The proposal concludes the printed and digital guides are private or technical exhibits that do not prove illicit financing or coercion.

Overview

  • Magistrado Felipe de la Mata’s project will be voted by the Sala Superior on Wednesday, the session slated to resolve remaining challenges this week.
  • The draft would confirm INE certificates for Celia Maya García, Eva Verónica de Gyves Zárate, Bernardo Bátiz Vázquez, Indira Isabel García Pérez and Rufino H. León Tovar.
  • The file lists 87 physical and 225 digital acordeones, plus social posts and videos, which the draft deems insufficient and lacking full probative value.
  • The project notes exact match rates of about 51% between guides and winners but finds this correlation alone does not justify annulling the results.
  • Legal associations and academics criticize likely validation as a damaging precedent for judicial independence, and the draft tracks a recent 3–2 majority that upheld the SCJN election.
