do they vote in their own state's primaries as well as in the convention?

The Republican primaries aren't any better because of their lack of proportional representation.
Essentially, neither party has a truly democratic system, and the general election isn't democratic either. We live in an increasingly plutocratic republic where money means more than votes.
