If the judge does not support this case, then it is clear that no one really votes in primaries, and delegates do not vote at the convention. Rather "the party" considers opinions of the popular primary vote (this is already known), and the opinion of the delegates at the convention, but ultimately chooses their own candidate. In reality, this is no surprise. The closest thing we have to a popular vote at the federal level is voting for house and senate members, and even this is controlled by the parties, just not through a primary system.

It is too little too late, but the key would be to gain control over the two main parties.
