Because I live in the South, where every rural county is still under the control of the Democratic Party, and where voting in a Republican Primary denies you your voice for local offices, and because many of your higher population counties are under Republican control, and as such, voting in a Democratic primary denies you your voice in local offices, and in some areas, what neighborhood you live in determining which primary elects your local candidates.

Closed primaries only work in true two party systems and we don't have that in the South.
