A blanket primary is when a ballot lists the candidates for ALL parties regardless of what party the voter is in.
So the voter can vote for a Republican governor and a Democratic senator even if they are Rep/Dem.
Very few states have this kind of primary now.

Modified primaries refer to elections where the rules have been altered to allow certain types of voters, such as independents, to participate in the primary election process.

A blanket primary election is a type of primary election in which all voters, regardless of their party affiliation, can participate in selecting candidates for various political parties. In this system, voters can choose candidates from any party for each office on the ballot, as opposed to being restricted to their registered party's candidates. This can lead to a more open and competitive electoral process, but may also result in strategic voting and potential challenges for party cohesion. Blanket primaries are used in a few U.S. states, including California and Washington.
