Okay, we already know that the 10th Amendment reserves the right of states, such as Illinois to write their own Constitution and we have seen the requirments for being eligible to run for Executive Office in the State of Illinois. If such a law exists as you claim, this would be denying Pat O'Malley of, according to Section 2 of the Illinois State Constitution:

SECTION 2. DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION

No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor be denied the equal protection of the laws.

In other words, technically, if this law were actually in existence, the State of Illinois would not only be violating Pat O'Malley's civil rights, but it would also be denying Pat O'Malley the Equal Protection of and under the Laws, by not allowing him to run for office just because he lost a previous primary, which is only a straw vote and not even an open primary, but a closed one. So, let's hope that this law is not really real, because if it were, his Civil Rights would be in violation. This would make a really fascinating State Supreme Court case.
