-- Least that's how I read it. It doesn't say anything about elections or nominations or primaries. --

There are laws against swearing a Certification of Eligibility that contains materially false statements, and the states have an interest in putting only eligible candidates on the ballot. Can you imagine the chaos in elections, otherwise?

All that lies outside the constitution, which operates in matters of succession and seating.

That being the case, I expect that an existing state case has a good chance of moving forward.
