::::IMO - and this actually is a private personal opinion - a true [[conservative]] position would oppose any state government involvement in private party primary elections - even if it means lower voter participation. But I can see how Dems would charge that the GOP doesn't really represent "the people", etc. So the GOP signed onto an agreement with Dems to stick the cost of running private party elections on the taxpayer and siphoning cost off the public purse, rather than the parties pay for their own elections, were it righteously belongs.
