Actually, not hard at all, as when I just this morning said this:

In the particular instance before us, the Florida Supreme Court has overgeneralized the right to vote, extending it to the right to have one's intent interpreted even if one failed to vote properly, in the pursuit of the "will of the people". By that criterion, all reasonable regulation of voting is subject to challenge, as inhibiting the determination of the will of the people, by forcing them to comply with "technicalities" in order to participate. Thus, we cannot restrict voting to certain times and places, which may limit the participation of a segment of the potential electorate. Perhaps it will be found illegal to require prior registration, or set a determinate voting age. Who knows, since the "right to be heard" has been articulated as a principle by the learned jurists of the Florida Supreme Court?
