    I’m not sure it matters yet. Are the parties even required to have primaries? What keeps them from just choosing at the convention?

      No.

      Both parties used to have a much more closed process that didn’t announce a winner until their convention. The public primaries weren’t anything more than a preference poll. Voters punished them both for it so severely that they changed.
