There are two issues with the state action. One, a non-candidate has no standing, at least that is the consensus of the the federal courts, and, two, Constitutional questions can only be decided at the federal court level. It is odd that after all the litigation on Obozo that we have to repeat the problems of the past. Are the plaintiffs pro se? Their failure to understand the issues suggests as much.

"Standing" is a federal-court concept. Some states follow it but others don't. So this may or may not be an issue under Illinois law.

and, two, Constitutional questions can only be decided at the federal court level.

State courts decide federal constitutional questions every day. Those decisions may ultimately be subject to review in federal court, but, as an initial matter many federal constitutional questions are heard in state courts.
