Baker v. ___ (landmark voting rights case)

CARR

This 1960s Supreme Court case redefined "one person, one vote" with a four-letter surname.

This clue refers to Baker v. Carr, the famous 1962 Supreme Court case that established the principle of "one person, one vote" in U.S. elections. The blank asks for the last name of the defendant, Charles Carr, who was a Tennessee official sued over unequal voting districts. It’s a straightforward fill-in-the-blank—no wordplay, just a direct reference to a key civil rights ruling. If you know the case, "Carr" is the obvious answer.
