Here is a LINK to the ruling.
I believe it will be appealed on VA banning petition circulators from out-of-state [described in link] using case law.
Buckley v Am. Constitutional Law Found., 525 U.S.182 (1999) which was used in Meyer v Grant, 486 U.S.414,421 (1988)...
Commonly referred to as "Buckley." [In context of the First Amendment, the Court must "be vigilant....to guard against undue hindrances to political conversations and the exchange of ideas."]
Pages 12-14 outlines why Judge Gibney ruled against them [the entire ruling is interesting and informative]

VA primary is 2 months away. RCP has Perry at 5.7 in SC and 3.5 in FL. Both of those primaries are going to be held this month. If he performs at those levels in two southern states and remains in the race, he’s Don Quixote.
I call BS on the state of Va.
If these were DemoRats candidates this carpola wouldn’t even exist.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on this ridiculous situation.
I believe that a lot of Virginia residents are just now becoming aware of this situation and will start putting the pressure on officials to do the right thing.
This should not affect people who didn’t try to get signatures, I wouldn’t think.
It should only affect Perry and Gingrich, each of whom had the required number of signatures but are being questioned about the citizenship of the people who gathered the signatures.
Is that what you think?
Get out, Rick. You don’t have a chance and Santorum does.
