[SUPER=03-Richmond]
The Supreme Court today issued a stay of a controversial ruling that Virginia's new voting districts are unconstitutional.
Democrats had challenged the Republican-drawn redistricting plan and Salem Judge Richard Pattisall threw it out and ordered new elections.
Last week Republicans argued that Pattisall mishandled the case and overstepped his authority.
Republican Attorney General Jerry Kilgore asked the state Supreme Court for an appeal.
The Court chimed in today and agreed to a stay while it reviewed the case.
Kilgore says Republicans are happy with the ruling.
