I thought closed primary = Republicans only. Do I misunderstand something?

They wanted states who have closed Primaries to be rewarded with more “at large” delegates. I think the number was eight.
“At large” delegates are not tied to a geographical district, and are usually party elites.
In my state, TX, some of the “at large delegates” are Rafael Cruz, Sr, his son, Rafael, jr, aka, Ted Cruz, our Governor, our Lt Governor, our Attorney General. Out of our our 155 delegates from TX, 47 are “at large” delegates, and 108 are regular delegate, three from each district, so that the locals have some input into the delegates.
