Organized Primary Mischief

Primaries make sense to me for non-partisan elections but this just seems like abuse of the system.

I wonder why the government holds partisan primaries at all... I'm sure there is an explanation (past party corruption seems likely.) Wouldn't it be cheaper for the taxpayers if each registered party picked their candidate internally and then just submitted their candidate for the ballot for a single election per partisan office?
