That gets buried a little bit in the article, four paragraphs in, just after a discussion about tech companies needing to be more accountable. The compression here drops the qualifier that this is about *specific* facts about how and when to vote.pic.twitter.com/CuEcAz133M

The headline compresses this even further: it's now turned into a generalized criminal penalty for spreading "voting disinformation" online. I get it, headlines have to be catchy and compressed. But lots of nuance has been lost to get us even this far.pic.twitter.com/egzzAi9R5l

So we have a compression of information that goes from "it should be illegal to intentionally suppress voters via e.g. a campaign to tell them the wrong day to vote" to "saying wrong things online should be illegal" in a series of steps, each one dropping critical detail

I don't know how you can persuade people to actually read the source and not just headlines. But it's definitely not helping when news orgs reduce original docs & sources to a clickbaity headline that makes claims that are completely unrecognizable from the original
