State appealing primary ruling

The Richmond Times Dispatch has an article today saying that Virginia will appeal a judge's ruling allowing Republicans to close their primaries.

Conservative Republicans want to bar Democrats and Independents from voting in GOP primaries in an effort to oust John Warner more moderate incumbents.

On behalf of the SBE, Virginia's attorney general office filed a motion to stay the order pending appeal, and said ultimately the case may be decided by the United States Supreme Court.
