Mexico 2027 midterms: dispute over 'ironed ballots' handling during count

Electoral officials Taddei and SOMOS clashed over the treatment of 'ironed ballots' (pre-marked or altered ballots) during the 2027 midterm count. The ballots will be documented and set aside, but the procedural disagreement raises concerns about vote integrity and potential disputes. This is an early sign of electoral friction that could affect confidence in the process.
