2/7/14, "Tenn. Republican Party leaders reject closed primaries," AP via wkrn.com, Nashville
"The executive committee of the state Republican Party has turned back an effort to hold closed primaries in Tennessee.
The panel voted 37-29 on Saturday against the resolution aimed at requiring party registration to vote in primary contests.
Currently, Tennessee voters aren’t registered by party, and people sometimes vote in a particular primary because of campaign developments rather than party affiliation.
Supporters of closed primaries say crossover voting can unduly influence the outcome of nomination contests."...
[Ed. note: See 2014 Mississippi "open" GOP primary and runoff which was finally won by democrat voters and liberal NY billionaire donors.]
(continuing): "And while state law allows challenges for people who are “not a bona fide member” of a political party, that status is not clearly defined.
Any change in voting laws would have to be approved by the General Assembly. But because Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers, GOP executive committee decisions carry extra weight."

It cost the Ruling Class a lot but they silenced the peasants once and for all in the 2014 GOP Mississippi primary and runoff:

Added: From NY Times article linked in Codevilla piece, NY liberal billionaire Mike Bloomberg gave as much as $500,000 to support the GOP Establishment candidate in the 2014 Mississippi GOP primary:
6/24/14, "Cochran Holds Off Tea Party Challenger in Mississippi," NY Times, Jonathan Weisman
"Also sure to inflame the right: a center-right super PAC, Defending Main Street, which contributed over $150,000 to Mr. Cochran during the runoff, received $250,000 from Michael Bloomberg in the same period, according to a source close to the former New York City mayor.
Mr. Bloomberg also contributed $250,000 to Mr Cochran’s super PAC, Mississippi Conservatives, before the primary."...

Comment: Globalist billionaire liberals get to be cool. "The right" gets to be "inflamed."

Karl Rove's "Conservative Victory Project" mentioned in Dr. Codevilla's article was financed at least in part by Rove's American Crossroads PAC:

=========================
In his 6/26/14 Wall St. Journal article Mr. Rove says he made three donations to the 2014 Mississippi GOP primary: one to the Cochran campaign, one to Mississippi Conservatives (Cochran's PAC) via Rove's super PAC American Crossroads, and one to the Mississippi GOP primary runoff. American Crossroads PAC also donated to Rove's "Conservative Victory Project."
Rove: "(Full disclosure: I donated to Mr. Cochran's campaign and the super PAC that I help, American Crossroads, donated to Mississippi Conservatives in the primary and runoff.)"...
6/26/14, "National Tea Party Groups Take A Beating," WSJ, Karl Rove
"The six-term senator's victory was due to a strategy by his campaign...led by GOP national committeeman Henry Barbour and his uncle, the very popular former Gov. Haley Barbour."...
======================
===================
Per OpenSecrets.org, American Crossroads donated $210,000 to 2014 GOP primary PAC, "Mississippi Conservatives:"
("Bluegrass Cmte" above with $50,000 donation is a Mitch McConnell group).
About: "Mississippi Conservatives"
