Isn't it illegal to publicize exactly who a given person voted for? Seems like basically this: https://www.propublica.org/article/why-it-may-be-illegal-to-ins

  You're not seriously saying that it's illegal to publicly endorse voting for a particular candidate? It is usually illegal to show proof of who you voted for, and absolutely should be, everywhere. People have to take your word for it. The ability to provide evidence of who you voted for creates the ability for others to demand evidence of who you voted for.

    Legally, I understand the distinction but publicizing exactly who you voted for seems like it could have similar repercussions in terms of voter intimidation.

      If you threaten me to vote for a specific party and all I can say is that I did so, your threat is not great. If you can threaten me, and after that make me prove what I voted for, the threat is much more effective.

        For the record, I'm not threatening anyone...

  As the sibling comment states, it was sharing endorsements, and not sharing photos of a marked ballot, as mentioned in your linked article.
