Primaries are actually an internal party election. That's why you have to declare a party affiliation and your voting choices are restricted.
The general election is the actual vote to elect candidates and pass or reject the issues.
Alaska, a red state that leans towards keeping government out of your life, always mailed to every household a voters pamphlet before every general election.
Hawai'i, a blue state leaning towards involving government in all aspects of your life, makes no attempt to inform its voters so that they can make informed decisions.
I find this to be a serious failing on the part of a liberal leaning state.
But then, they might consider an informed electorate a problem they do not want to deal with.
There, that aught to stir someone up.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
