Advertisements [?]

are they not private members only elections?
real question here
i am curious as to why my state foots the bill for what is a private function
i understand in the general as each party has a nominee
my taxes underwrite the Dem and the GOP primaries yet i can vote in only one
shouldnt it be the responsibility of each party to have a nominee in the general and foot their own bill until a name is decided?
