If it was so meaningless why change it? Contradicting the expressed will of the people is easier than it sounds. When you have actual poll results to show a large plurality of the state supports a particular candidate its a lot harder to pull a 34 nothing fastball.


They did this as an establishment firewall. The change should be towards an actual primary election. The excuse they gave had nothing to do with representative republic vs. Democracy it was some malarkey about not being able to count votes in a real election.
