Alaska’s new electoral system — with open primaries and ranked-choice voting — has been a model for voters in other states who are frustrated by political polarization and a sense that voters lack real choice at the ballot box.
Oregon would keep its primaries closed and limit ranked voting to federal and top statewide races, including for governor.
Of course they would! 99% of Oregon’s population is in a progressive majority city controlled by Neoliberals that would be voted out if they allowed free and fair Dem primaries.
The court recognized that the DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private corporation; therefore, voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts
As for it being for-profit, that’s the only logical explanation for why they insist on strategies that are electorally disadvantageous but profitable, such as acting in favor of the 10% wealthiest much more often than their constituency in general and moving to the right every time the Republicans do, losing more prospective voters than they gain.

How are Oregon’s primaries unfair?
They’re controlled by the DNC, a private for-profit corporation with a vested interest in favoring some candidates over others.
To think that an even playing field is possible under their full control is ridiculously naive.
How is the DNC a for-profit corporation? Who are the shareholders on whose behalf they act?
Without intent to offend, your comment sounds extremely conspiratorial.
That it’s a private corporation I base on their own statement in court, affirmed by a judge
