On April 10, Mexico’s top electoral court ruled 4-3 that independent presidential candidate Jaime “El Bronco” Rodriguez should be placed on the ballot. National election authorities had ruled that he didn’t have enough valid signatures. He showed that many of his disqualified signatures were actually valid, but he ran out of time. The basis for the decision is that he wasn’t given an opportunity to complete the re-validation process.

See this story. There are now five presidential candidates on the ballot.

The basis for the decision seems to resemble the decision in U.S. District Court in Georgia in 1980, when the court put John B. Anderson on the ballot because he had not been given enough time to prove that he really did have enough valid signatures. Anderson v Poythress.
