|Updated:

The Supreme Court on Oct. 5 overturned a district court injunction that prohibited South Carolina from requiring mail-in ballots to have a witness signature.

The order doesn’t apply to ballots already cast by mail and those received within two days of the order, the brief ruling states. The Supreme Court order only rejected the preliminary injunction, and plaintiffs in the lower court can still prevail if the circuit court rules in their favor.
