Mexico's Supreme Court Strikes Down President's Bid to Reform Electoral System
- Mexico's Supreme Court overturned electoral law changes favored by President López Obrador.
- The changes would have reduced spending and size of the National Electoral Institute and limit its authority.
- López Obrador accused the high court of overstepping its authority by judging whether Congress followed its own rules.
- In May, the court overturned another part of the electoral changes because Congress rushed the measure through to a vote without debate, or even time to read it.
- The ruling is a major blow to López Obrador, who has made overhauling the electoral system a major priority.
