Republican National Committee v. Koski Tazewell County Circuit Court Injunction
RICHMOND, Va. – Attorney General Jay Jones today made the following statement on the injunction issued by the Tazewell County Circuit Court in Republican National Committee v. Koski.
“My office will immediately file an appeal in the Court of Appeals. As I said last night, Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote. We look forward to defending the outcome of last night's election in court.”

What this means is the RNC has filed suit in two venues: Richmond and Tazewell County.
The Richmond Circuit Court ruled against the RNC and that case is dead -- the referendum is safe from that suit.
In Tazewell County, the RNC is suing STEVEN KOSKI, in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections, claiming that the referendum is illegal. VA Atty Gen Jay Jones is defending Steve Koski because of Koski's official position as Commissioner of Elections. The case will be heard in Richmond, possibly in the same court that threw out the RNC case earlier.
