Who votes in Primaries? Not the Un enrolled. I have to register with a party to vote in a primary. Sorry but I choose to vote based on the candidate. Unfortunately that leaves me out in the cold on primary day.

"Only voters affiliated with a particular party may vote in its primary. State law provides for closed primaries, but both parties allow unaffiliated voters to choose their ballot on election day."
