    The primaries are mostly determined by the parties. There will be a primary this year in New Hampshire where only the Republican result counts, because they Democrats reordered their primary schedule so New Hampshire wasn’t first and New Hampshire has a law saying they must hold theirs first. So their vote will happen but just doesn’t count.

    In the end it’s the parties that decide who their nominee will be, by the rules they make up, so that’s where reform needs to happen.

        I’m not responding to say it can’t change, I’m explaining you how the primary half of the problem works. Changing a private organization is potentially easier than changing a law, but at the same time does not have a definite method of voting on it.
