MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico's Supreme Court fell short in a vote on Tuesday to invalidate part of a controversial judicial reform passed by lawmakers in September that requires the election of all judges over the next few years.
After several hours of debate on the constitutionality of the judicial reform, only seven of the court's 11 justices voted to support a measure to roll back some of the reform's key elements, one vote short of the eight required to pass it.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
