There’s nothing in the brief about that.
he’s challenging the law.
IANAL but the case he cites, http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/97-930.ZS.html ,

Long time no see, Mr. Smith...
It seems that many people see this as a Commonwealth of Virginia law. May be, but if so, then it is a law that uniquely applies to the Republican Party and no other, and so unconstitutionally discriminates against Republican voters by establishing ballot criteria for their candidates which differ substantially from the criteria established for other parties. Perhaps they are not arguing this point, but I think it is a valid one.
