11. Ok which is it GOP? States rights? No state rights? Or is it only what benefits the GOP's interests?

When it to your advantage you allow states to establish rules that cancel primaries. Arizona, Kansas, Nevada and South Carolina.

When it isn't to your advantage you deny states the right to establish election-related rules that they see as necessary to inform the electorate.

California and other states are establishing rules that say to get on the primary ballot in their state you have to provide your tax returns. This ensures that voters can see where a political candidate's financial interest might conflict with their policy-making decisions.

In this case, you have denied California's choice to fully inform their voters about where a candidate allegiance may affect their decision making. Is it in the best interest of all Americans? Or solely in the best interest of the candidate?

Other national issues that you've selectively decide for or against state rights. Gun laws, abortion rights, environmental policies, and Land use policies to name a few.
