A blind date with democracy
*Mexico steps into unknown with world’s first popular election of all
judges: "A
blind date with democracy".
Critics warn the experiment will lead to low turnout, a political power
grab and infiltration by organized crime.*
I've heard accusations that he practice of electing judges in some US
states has given rich people and companies a lot of influence in who
gets elected judge, and that the result is that those rich people and
companies get away with mistreating the public. I don't have any
proof of this or any references.
