El nuevo modelo competencial entre el Instituto Nacional Electoral y los organismos públicos locales electorales. Un federalismo en flujo

Since its inception as an almost single national electoral regulatory body, the National Electoral Institute (INE) came to be as the product of constitutional and profound changes and consequent reforms to the secondary federal election laws. Such changes were not the product of a well thought, serious analysis that would support the possibility of solving the problems that its approval promised to accomplish. Furthermore, the somewhat non-federalist model of distribution of their respective mandates and scopes between INE and its subnational counterparts in the states, that apparently tends to overrun them, has generated as expected not only operational difficulties but also severe and harsh criticism from the academia, the local electoral bodies themselves, adverse election courts opinions and in general a large sector of the modern mexican experts in federalism studies.
