Denying any voter the right to a provisional vote will erode confidence in the election and lessen the incentive to vote, the judge said.
"Lessened participation at the polls diminishes the vitality of our democracy," Carr said.
...a federal law passed in 2002 allows voters to cast provisional ballots at any polling place in their home county.

If you have changed address's in Colorado & have not notified the election board to the new address, IN TIME. You are allowed to go back to your
old precinct to vote. We do not need to make it CONVENIENT for certain voters to vote. And this was for the county anyway. Counties normally are not that large, to where it would make it inconvenient for one to go back to one's original polling precinct.
Anyone really wanting to vote in this country, will make certain they do. There are also absentee ballots, making certain that voting can be easy. Anyone who elects not to inform election boards in time, while time schedules are posted in the newspaper & all over local radio stations, really doesn't want to participate. And if they're really not that interested to do that, then who in the heck wants them voting on issues that are critical to fed, state & local issues?
And no matter what, being able to vote in your non-precinct, WITHIN THE SAME COUNTY YOU RESIDE, OPENS invitation to fraud.
AGAIN, it is NOT up to activist judges to change or re-write election law. That is up to each State legislature.
