I was looking through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_day and almost half of it had a [citation needed] tag, so I guess you could call it that?

What would you call someone who distributes and prints “Get out the vote” flyers with polling locations to certain communities and demographics but not others? Or, let’s say a social network like Facebook sends one group of voters reminders to vote but not others? Selectively spreading correct information can still be malicious.

Partisan participation in the election process.

A country that doesn't adequately inform their citizens when it's holding an election, so they can easily be mislead by fliers.

Maybe make it a holiday.

The vast majority of 'anti-disinformation' campaigns are not restricted to, or even concentrated around, the scenario you have given.

freedom of speech.

What would you call the president of the US saying "Let me repeat, if you are fully vaccinated you no longer need to wear a mask" in May of 2021?

Omicron wasn't a thing back then.

Are you trying to imply this was a lie or misinformation? Conditions continue to evolve, as do recommendations by experts. The President of the US is listening to experts.

Headline written by CamperBob about water: Pundit Recommends Consuming Chemical Commonly Used as Engine Coolant!

>Good luck with your horse paste.

That contributed nothing to the conversation.

Neither did calling out Biden for doing the right thing based on the best info available to him.

The person I responded to has clearly chosen his path. All too often, that path leads to abusing veterinary supplies... and telling the world how awesome it is to do so.

The grandparent poster listed an example of election day incorrect information, the person you responded to listed an example of a politician stating incorrect information. Whether it's a good example or not is highly debatable but ad hominem style attacks don't help your argument.

It wasn't a good example. It was a terrible one that can't be cited in good faith.

a moron. if someone tells you the golden gate bridge has an emergency exit that goes straight to the water are you going to take it?

Your argument doesn’t make the point you think it does. If someone maliciously placed convincing fake road signs on the road then they could easily cause severe injury or death. This would be a serious problem, not to be taken lightly.
