Nearly 90 percent of voters did not cast ballots on Sunday, one of the lowest turnouts in any federal election since Mexico became a democracy.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico held its first-ever judicial elections Sunday, stirring controversy and sowing confusion among voters who struggled to understand a process set to transform the country's court system.

The elections are the brainchild of ex-President Andrès Manuel López Obrador — who, like Trump, often clashed with the judiciary, complaining that unelected judges were thwarting his aspirations for a “transformation” of Mexican society.
