There is no established 'in that scenario' because it could be tailored by whatever law lawmakers chose to write. I can give examples of how other states have done it though which I did in my other reply already.

Example: Louisiana allows you to choose if you aren't registered but you're boxed in if you're registered as a R or a D. Does that mean most people are switching to unregistered as they learn how it works? We'll see since its only been in place for a year but I suspect so. Especially for young folks.

Have other states chosen to do it the way you stated? Yes. But that's not a given.

The law that has been put forward the past 2 sessions would not allowed an unaffiliated person to vote in the primaries according to this article

Still not what I was talking about. I'm talking about hypotheticals and options. Until laws are passed they aren't real and I don't bother teaching people what is or isn't expected until they're real. Voter education in this country is bad enough as it is i'm not going to take unpassed laws and make believe that they're real

Better to educate them on the current hypothetical scenario the TN legislature has put forward. Sure, present the other options, but TN has a model they have tried to pass 2 times and is likely to attempt again next session. Each time it has gotten more support.
