💨 Abstract

Mexico's ruling Morena party appears poised to control the Supreme Court following preliminary results of the country's first judicial elections. With 2,600 federal, state, and local judge positions up for grabs, the majority of the newly elected Supreme Court justices have strong ties to Morena. Pre-election opponents voiced fears, this tectonic shift presents an imbalance of power, giving the governing party significant influence over all three branches.
