Overview

  • The TEPJF Superior Chamber upheld the UTCE decision to dismiss the Proyecto Justicia Común complaint by a 3-2 vote, ruling that journalistic reports cannot serve as evidence
  • Reyes Rodríguez Mondragón has formally asked the tribunal to overturn the dismissal and send the case back to the UTCE for a comprehensive investigation
  • The complaint alleges an elaborate ‘beneficiario espejo’ scheme in which 8,000-peso monthly payments were made under false names to secure votes for Morena candidates
  • Critics say the UTCE halted its probe after two domain registrants denied ownership of registro.territorios.mx instead of tracing the platform’s operators
  • The INE has catalogued dozens of printed and digital ‘acordeones’, opened roughly 50 case files and is assessing statistical irregularities that could challenge the election results
