Can a judge actually order a primary vote to be opened?

I'm pretty sure they can't. The Supreme Court already found closed primaries to be constitutionally sound.

if they had a legitimate grievance with the primary rules, why didn't they try to sue over them months prior?

Because in the last local election, less than a year ago, those people were on the books as registered voters? How would they know to take action until today?

So I'm reading reddit and apparently a bunch of registered independents are asking for provisional ballots.

Like, not even "my party was switched" straight up "I know I can't vote in this but I'm gonna do it anyway"

So, who's the voter fraud candidate?

For the record doing this is bullshit. I'm only making a stink because I can go on the official elections site, show registration status as having the proper address and party affiliation, but still had to fill out a provisional ballot due to a made up mailing address.

If you really want to push it (you shouldn't have to), you can get a court order to give you a real ballot.

Duck and cover. That's the first thing to do. Duck and cover.
I went to vote in my small upstate town as soon as polls opened and there were like 20-30 people in the democratic line and only 5 republicans the whole time I was waiting in line, which was weird. Two of them made the same joke along the lines of "Wow there sure are a lot of you guys, I hope you don't beat me up ha ha".

Bernie's campaign hotline isn't telling people to do this, and he's outright being told "do not sign that you are a registered democrat".

The ballot will be thrown, the law won't be broken,and nothing will change. hardly a smoking gun.

It's rather lovely of TYTs to encouraging independents to go and cast provisional ballots under the illusion that a ruling is coming later today to make them all valid.

The hearing today is pretty much over and changed nothing. If your registration was wrongly changed, vote provisional. Otherwise, don't vote.

The suits will be handled in a case-by-case county-by-county basis.

Weird clerical errors are the reason provisional ballots exist, so elections officials can go back and verify information from those ballots and have them counted. This takes a while, and barring some really exceptional result the primary here will probably be mostly forgotten in a few weeks, so it won't really affect anything

this is correct, there is no need for a lawsuit for provisional ballots to be available
