All nine seats on Mexico’s Supreme Court were taken by people with links to the ruling party. A new disciplinary tribunal which is empowered to punish judges will probably have a similar hue. The electoral tribunal looks like it will tilt the same way.

The Morena party controls most of Mexico’s government. Its sway over the Supreme Court is set to increase after a judicial election that raised fears about democracy.

In a divisive and far-reaching election pushed by the governing Morena party, Mexicans voted for thousands of judges at every level on Sunday, remaking the courts.
