33. I am not mixing anything. Courts have intervened in primaries because they deal with equal voting..
....rights for all.

There was a Texas White Primary that was trashed by the courts when Texas tried to keep blacks from voting in the primaries.

Another case where courts intervened in Texas also tried to make the primary election candidate filing fees so high so that only wealthy people could participate.

Primary elections for the constitutional offices of President, Vice-President, and the US Congress are subject to ALL election dogma whether that dogma is resident in the national party charters or in the federal and state constitutions and their respective laws.

The right to vote in any election is universally protected. It must be or this republic will die.
