Yes it is. You just misunderstood what I meant.

> All States, except for Maine and Nebraska have a winner-take-all policy where the State looks only at the overall winner of the state-wide popular vote. Maine and Nebraska, however, appoint individual electors based on the winner of the popular vote for each Congressional district and then 2 electors based on the winner of the overall state-wide popular vote.

Washington state, for example, has single primaries (top two advance to general election regardless of party) rather than a partisan primary for every election except presidential.
