The Supreme Court announced it will hear a case that could have major implications for voting rights across the country. The case challenges state voting laws that critics argue disproportionately affect minority voters.

Legal experts say the court's decision could fundamentally reshape the voting rights landscape ahead of the next election cycle. Civil rights organizations have vowed to fight the laws, which they describe as modern-day voter suppression.

The case is expected to be one of the most closely watched of the current term, with oral arguments scheduled for early next year. A decision is expected by June.
