If there was a giant disinformation campaign about that election claiming that the historically attested fraud did not occur, that Tilden was actually the legitimate 19th president, and this was directly weakening the fabric on which we've built our democracy? Sure, I guess.
Obviously it isn't, so no one cares. The point here is clearly to combat deliberate spreading of lies about an election. Now, you can argue that it won't work or will backfire, but there's no significant question about the purpose here.
