National parties are weak compared to state and local parties.
7 The Party Organizations: From the Grass Roots to Washington Local (State) Parties Run Primaries Closed: voters must be registered with their party in advance and can only vote for that party Open: independents and those registered to a party may vote in that party s primary Primaries and caucuses weaken national party organizations
