The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, divided along partisan lines, upheld the state’s 2019 mail-in voting law in a 5–2 decision on Aug. 2, which means that current mail-in balloting rules will probably remain in place for the upcoming Nov. 8 general election.

The decision overturned a lower court ruling that had found that the mail-in voting law ran afoul of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
