I've lobbied for any of the following changes: 1). The State gets out of the Primary Election, leaving it solely to the Parties to determine their candidates in the General Election; 2). Keep the rules as they are and the State sends a bill to the Parties to cover the entire cost of selecting the Party's candidates; or 3). The State returns to a true 'open-ballot' that allows any registered voter the ability to 'cross-party-lines' (gasp!) and vote for whomever they like, just as the good voters in Shungnak were allowed to.
