Where things stand, in case you are as confused as I was.

Marc Elias is referring to the third case listed in the article, with RNC as the plaintiff and VSBE as defendant. The judge is at the circuit ct level and issued his decision AFTER the linked Pilot article came out.

At least the first case (and maybe the others) will be heard at the VA Supreme Ct at 9 am tomorrow.
