Because a lot of them are new voters and probably wouldn't otherwise show up for local elections, which in most of the later states happen concurrently with presidential primaries. And most of the states that are left pushed their primaries to June, when hopefully things will be better and it will be safer to go to the polls, and many of these states have adopted vote by mail for the primaries this year in response to the crisis.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
