Related: About this forumWe should hear something soon about the lawsuit. 2pm EST hearing Will Provisionals be counted?
http://heavy.com/news/2016/04/new-york-election-fraud-lawsuit-results-voter-purge-hearing-open-primary-election-justice-usa/Thousands were left unable to vote after their registrations were purged. (Getty)
A hearing for the lawsuit took place this morning at 100 Federal Plaza, Central Islip, according to Election Justice USA. Were keeping this story updated as more information is available. Election Justice USA is hoping the court will open the primary to voters whose registrations were purged.
According to Shyla Nelson of Election Justice USA, they formally served notice to the Board of Elections and the Attorney General. Theyre waiting for an Attorney General representative to appear at the court house. Theyve been waiting for quite awhile, and now Election Justice USA asked the judge for immediate summons.
As the wait for someone in the Attorney Generals office to appear in court continues, Shyla Nelson is asking concerned citizens to come to the courthouse and bring their friends (after youve voted, of course) at 2 p.m. Directions to the courthouse are here.
A new hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Eastern today, Jordan Chariton reported. If a judge rules favorably, then all provisional ballots that are cast today would be counted.

primary? A friend just called to say that that was at being announced at 2pm. If the independent and unaffiliated can vote that would add thousands.

(Several part tweet) NYPrimary election lawsuit: Judge orders hearing 4 later date, instructs plaintiffs to name every single NY county as..
Defendants and give each county notice that they have to appear in court to defend their voter registration process (over 60 counties)...
NY Board of Election said they have nothing to do with the problems, are "not responsible for the counties"
Lawyers urge Dems who feel they have had registration changed wrongly should vote on provisional ballot since a new hearing has been granted
#NYPrimary election judge says people who feel have been purged have remedy...go get court order in front of a judge

(11,785 posts)8. So there could be a shit-ton of provisionals cast today which may or may not
ever be counted.
on edit: according to some redditors, voters who can get a court-ordered ballot will have their votes counted today.
