[Smash255]

New Mexico does NOT support gay marriage yet:

51% Banned

Seven points is a surprising margin for that state.

Remember how during the run up to the election many Republicans were complaining that the Party Id's in polls were to Democratic and that wound up being false?

This might be one that id\s a party id issue.  Party id in the poll is Dem +3, it was Dem +12 in the exit polls from November

Does the judge set the deadline for when the decision can no longer be appealed?

The judge can certainly set a deadline for when an appeal must be filed or he will lift his stay.  I'm not certain, but I think it is up to the 4th Circuit to determine when an appeal must be filed with them in order for them to hear it regardless of whether a stay in force or not.

Can anyone other than Herring (who obviously won't) appeal?

Why isn't Kentucky white?

The ruling in Kentucky required the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, however it did not legalize same-sex marriage in the state.

[Smash255]

Since we currently have a bunch of states where the ban was overturned, but a stay was issued for appeal, should we have another shading for that?

In view of the decisions of the 4th Federal Circuit Court, tan for states in which states have until August 18, 2014 in which to appeal the decision:  

Not sure why you made NC white, Cooper has stated he will no longer defend the legal challenges to the law in court, but same-sex marriage is still not legal in N.C
