“There are other cases in which clarity is needed to know if they are homonymous (I leave the benefit of the doubt) or simply duplicate names to occupy the same positions. Transparency demands immediate clarification,” he wrote from his X account.
Among the failures that these lists presented were: “PROOF PROOF PROOF” who is registered as an aspiring minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), as well as “JORGES 1 JORGE 1 JORGE 1” and “JORGE 3 JORGE 3 JORGE”, who are candidates for District Judges.
At first glance, the Legislative Branch Evaluation Committee exhibits unforgivable errors and demonstrates its incompetence:
“TESTS EVENTS EVENTS” as a candidate for minister of the SCJN.

The Evaluation Committee – which will be in charge of creating three filters to choose the candidates who will participate in June 2025 – recognized the “errors.”
“In relation to the pertinent observations regarding entries on the preliminary list that do not correspond to names of applicants, as well as cases of duplicate names, it is reported: in the first case these are entries by the IT area to test the database that were not registered from the list and, in the second, of names that in the process of purging the records, were repeated and whose duplicates – by mistake – were not eliminated,” he said in a statement.
The Committee emphasized that, according to the General Law of Electoral Institutions and Procedures and the Calls of the Senate and the Evaluation Committee of the Federal Legislative Branch, the final list of eligible candidates will be published on December 15, 2024.
This Legislative Branch Committee was the last of the three – Executive and Judicial – to make transparent the lists of aspiring judges, since Andrés Norberto García Repper Favila explained that the more than 15,000 emails of records that arrived had to be reviewed.
“We still do not have the name and number of registered participants definitively because the saturation of the site (website) forced people to send us emails that we are reviewing,” he said a week ago.
The Committee has until December 15 to carry out the first purge of the lists, since that day it must publish it with the names of those candidates who have met the requirements.
