Correction - Maine has a ranked-choice general election, but not an all-party primary. Thanks to Ben Sheehan for catching that. Also, a few states have all-party primaries for state legislature only, Nebraska and Louisiana.

For a list of how each states' primaries are conducted, see this Ballotpedia article: https://ballotpedia.org/Primary_election_types_by_state

I believe this is consistent with the views of "www.ReformElectionsNow.org/about/" as well as the Academics Task Force on Election Reform, whose book was published this month: https://www.rienner.com/title/Electoral_Reform_in_the_United_States_Proposals_for_Combating_Polarization_and_Extremism - Have you met yet with one of the editors of that book Ned Foley, who is a Princeton Fellow this year on leave from Ohio State's Election Law Institute? I am sure you are also familiar with the work by Open Primaries on Nonpartisan Primaries, among other related options. Please contact me if you have a chance: otten@alumni.princeton.edu
