The problem is less primaries than it is open primaries. Even if the party has to spend it’s own money rather than letting some Secretary of States office fund the process, we should not allow non-GOP voters to have a hand in the nomination process.
I’m on board with ending the open primaries. Here is another thought. Why can’t Republicans change their primaries in order of the states that had the highest Republican % in the last Presidential election?
Logistical problems I’m sure maybe legal ramifications as well. But I’m tired of VERY liberal states like Michigan, New Hampshire and Iowa having so much influence on our Republican candidate selection.
The primaries in very red Texas and other red states were meaningless when it came our turn to vote.
