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.
