It's not asking us to falsify votes or commit fraud or anything, just asking for people to sing the virtues of this approach.

As an analogy, say Colorado passed a law that New Hampshire is also considering passing. In that case would you consider it interference for people from Colorado to speak in New Hampshire saying "You guys shouldn't pass this, it worked out poorly for us in Colorado"?

Generally speaking: Yes.

Interesting. I'm curious what you'd say the boundary here is?

Should people not be allowed to read those opinions, or should writers outside the state not be allowed to write them?

Likewise, what scale of input on elections is considered too small to ban? Is criticizing the policies or politics of other states allowed at all?

I could not disagree with your view more, but I'm genuinely curious how you're thinking about this issue and what you'd want to see in practice.
