Overview

• By a 3–2 margin, the Sala Superior validated the results for five magistrates of the Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial after finding no conclusive proof that “acordeones” were used or swayed voters.
• The case file cited dozens of printed guides and hundreds of digital items alongside videos and social posts, which the court classified as private or technical evidence without full probative value.
• Proposals to notify the National Electoral Institute to open inquiries into alleged coordinated distribution, paid social media promotion, or party and government involvement were rejected.
• Magistrates Reyes Rodríguez Mondragón and Janine Otálora dissented, arguing the record supports a coordinated tactic and warning the evidentiary bar makes such irregularities nearly impossible to prove.
• The confirmed magistrates—Celia Maya, Eva Verónica de Gyves, Bernardo Bátiz, Indira Isabel García, and Rufino H. León—are set to take office in early September as the TDJ replaces the CJF, drawing concern from the Barra Mexicana over precedent and credibility.
