Parties don’t choose candidates other than the presidential election, which they could change the rules, but in the aftermath of 2016 presidential election, the Democratic Party have changed the rules and have since forbidden superdelefates from voting the first round and haven’t changed it since (as far as I know). If the first round fails to gain a 50%+1 majority, then superdelegates can participate. (I think republicans still have superdelegates tho) For non-presidential primaries, primaries are run by the states, governed by state laws, not a party’s rules. Anyone can just register as either a Democrat or Republican and run.
The main powers of a political party is not vote tamering, votes themselves aren’t actually being tampered with (for the most part), they just have unlimited funds to buy propaganda to make their status quo candidates have more support.
