This petition to the Supreme Court seeks an order to enjoin the Open Primary, not to mandate a Closed Primary. It is possible to fix the problem with the Open Primary in a number of other ways, such as a convention.
The filing, directed to Justice Kennedy, could have implications if Trump is short of delegates in June. Right now Democrats could vote in the Republican Party Primary, and this seeks an order to close the Primary. The logistical problem is that Montana has no registration by Primary.
It states:
Montana’s open primary system permits any elector to anonymously vote for Party nominees. The State is thereby violating the Party’s right to identify its members as well as its right to exclude nonmembers from selecting its nominees.
It is a very interesting petition.
