Overview

  • The Sala Superior voted 3–2 to uphold the results for the Tribunal de Disciplina.
  • Presiding magistrate Mónica Soto said the case file lacks a single proof that the guides influenced the vote.
  • Drafting magistrate Felipe de la Mata cited INE data showing more than 70,000 polling stations and only 13 with reported issues linked to the guides.
  • Magistrate Reyes Rodríguez dissented, arguing the distribution was determinative and warranted annulment.
  • The ruling paves the way for Senate swearing‑in of Celia Maya, Eva Verónica de Gyves, Bernardo Bátiz, Indira Isabel García and Rufino H. León Tovar on September 1, as the Barra Mexicana warned the validation risks a damaging precedent.
