Preliminary vote tallies from Mexico's first judicial elections indicate the ruling Morena party is headed toward control over the Supreme Court.

In a divisive and far-reaching election pushed by the governing Morena party, Mexicans voted for thousands of judges at every level on Sunday, remaking the courts.

The Morena party controls most of Mexico’s government. Its sway over the Supreme Court is set to increase after a judicial election that raised fears about democracy.
