Look up The Moral Majority and Jerry Falwell.
Falwell's people took over the GOP with a simple grass roots strategy. If the local GOP club got an average twenty people at their monthly meetings, the MMs would show up with fifty. They made sure they nominated every dog catcher, county clerk, and school board member they could. After a few cycles the party elders began to see that they didn't run things anymore.
You vote, you keep voting, and you make usre your neighbors are voting, too.
It sounds to me like they did a lot more than just vote. They showed up at party meetings first, and they got their people nominated. And they didn't wait for a primary to do it.
Voting is the bare minimum.
