Turnout-Based Electoral Apportionment

[Slander and/or Libel]

I've been wondering something about this, but in terms of apportionment of delegates in primaries rather than apportionment of ECs. It seems like the Republicans apportion more delegates the more Republican a state is, which makes some sense on the surface, but if they wanted to maximize their chances of winning, wouldn't they want to structure the nomination process to give more weight to the states that were close, or even to give the most weight to states that just barely didn't vote for a Republican last time? That is, if Virginia went D by 2% last time, wouldn't the Republican Party be best served to give a decent amount of weight to the candidate that Virginians prefer, reasoning that that candidate might be better suited to swing that 2% than somebody who appeals to the far right?
