Abstract
This brief symposium piece, written in response to an article by Chad Flanders, asks: Can a state allow write-in votes, but discourage them by making them difficult to cast? I argue that the answer is no – for reasons that highlight two fundamental, but underappreciated, aspects of election law.
Keywords: election law, voting rights, positive rights, negative rights, write-in votes
