8/7/2020 SM-JIN-0035-2015 Como puede advertirse, aun cuando se acreditaron las irregularidades invocadas, en ningún caso resultan ser determinantes para el resultado de la votación obtenida en cada una de las casillas, puesto que resulta menor el número de ciudadanos a los que indebidamente se permitió sufragar sin estar autorizados para ello respecto de la diferencia existente entre el partido que obtuvo la mayor votación y el segundo lugar. Por tanto, no puede decretarse la nulidad de la votación solicitada. 4.7.1.1. No se encuentra acreditado que se haya permitido votar a ciudadanos sin estar en el listado nominal. Ahora bien, en cuanto a las casillas 391 B1, 467 C2 y 473 C4, en las respectivas hojas de incidentes se asentó que acudieron personas (una o dos) a votar con credencial no vigente; sin embargo, esa circunstancia, por sí sola, no es suficiente para considerar que se les permitió votar, porque tal hecho no fue asentado en dichas hojas, lo que no permite determinar si https://www.te.gob.mx/colecciones/sentencias/html/SM/2015/JIN/SM-JIN-00035-2015.htm 55/123

PAN v. PRI (SM JIN 0035 2015)

Judgment

Question Presented: Whether the Governor's presence and irregularities are sufficient to annul the election results.

Alleged Acts: The Governor of Aguascalientes posted photos on his personal Twitter account which was transitioned to the official webpage of the government. These photos included him traveling to polling stations with candidates. Further, the plaintiff alleges that the elections should be annulled because of errors and inconsistencies in the minutes, voter were not received by authorized individuals, the polling station did not open and close at the allotted times, and that violence and pressure was forced upon voters at the ballot boxes. Lastly, the plaintiff indicates that the campaign financing was constructed in a way where the expenditures exceeded the maximum amount.

Summary: The court determined that the ballot box originating in Aguascalientes, ballot box 450 C1, was null for violating Article 75, paragraph 1, subsection (e) of the Media Law. The court determined that violation involving the elections must be substantial and of sufficient gravity that it would prevent certainty and validity as to which candidate would be ranked first. The court determined that the candidate did not exceed the campaign spending cap and that unreported expenses were not sufficient to exceed that cap. However, the court determined that because people, other than those authorized, received the ballots, the votes from that polling place were invalid. This, in combination with the governor’s presence in the district as evidenced by his Twitter account, suggests a violation of impartiality.

Conclusion: The court annulled the election results from one polling station stating that the Governor violated the impartiality and equality of elections because his involvement in the election became public knowledge.
