The gains that take advantage of the delay
Magistrates of the Electoral Court of Baja California (TJEBC)
While the senators are lost to the void, there are those who take advantage of this situation, as is the case of Elva Regina Jiménez Carrillo, magistrate of the Electoral Tribunal of Justice of Baja California (TJEBC), is one of the “favored” magistrates at the national level who have managed to extend their mandate beyond the time for which they were appointed
This extension was achieved after filing a complaint appeal before the Electoral Tribunal of the Judiciary of the Federation (TEPJF), to keep her in office, because the senators have not chosen her replacement.
In November 2015, Elva Regina Jimenez Carrillo was appointed by the Senate of the Republic as a magistrate for a period of seven years, which would end on November 18, 2022, but she continues in office due to the omission of the senators to elect her replacement.
