When states run primary elections are they paid 100% by the tax payer? Meaning voting booths, etc? And if so, why? Primaries aren't even required by the law or the Constitution, shouldn't the parties pay for a portion of the costs?

They are required by law in some states, e.g. Pennsylvania.

Requiring what basically comes down to a popularity contest is silly, no?
