"The intention behind the rules" is a thing that lives in your imagination. It cannot be quantified. That's the point of having written rules.
Expecting that poll workers will read and adhere to The Rules as stated isn't some wild fantasy. It's literally what they signed up to do. It's foundational to the idea of an election having any legitimacy at all.
It does not require taking a position on "the ban on electioneering", just a position against poll worker vigilantism (virtue-lantism?).
