Will the Supreme Court decision on Arizona's Voting Law have an effect in PA?

It seems very similar to PA's law which is now "on hold" (or something) pending state court proceedings.
Justices Reject Arizona Voting Law Requiring Proof of Citizenship
Source: NY Times
Arizona may not require documentary proof of citizenship from prospective voters, the Supreme Court ruled in a 7-to-2 decision on Monday.
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, No. 12-71, said a federal law requiring states to “accept and use” a federal form displaced an Arizona law.
The federal law, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, allows voters to register using a federal form that asks, “Are you a citizen of the United States?” Prospective voters must check a box for yes or no, and they must sign the form, swearing under the penalty of perjury that they are citizens.
The state law, by contrast, required prospective voters to prove that they were citizens by providing copies of or information concerning various documents, including birth certificates, passports, naturalization papers or Arizona driver’s licenses, which are available only to people who are in the state lawfully.

I am not sure where the court case now stands. Judge Simpson halted the requirement to show an ID before the general last November, but in the primary in May, they were still asking for IDs. If someone had no ID, the poll workers handed them an information sheet.
Will the case continue to go forward or be abandoned now that the USSC has ruled the AZ law to be unconstitutional?
I don't know what IANAL means.
