If you tell the story of the burnt ballot boxes in Portland and Vancouver this week (an important story that warrants attention), also tell how good fire-suppressant design saved all but three ballots in the Portland box, and the efforts of the election workers who contacted those three voters and arranged for replacement ballots.
Things are scary and bad, and often literally on fire. But there are good people and good systems too. Making us forget that is always a win for the worst ones.
Texas has purged about 500K eligible voters
Oklahoma has purged about 193K eligible voters
Nebraska potentially changing its Electoral count to winner take all so they all go Red
Georgia is requiring 5-6M votes be counted by hand
Red states have closed more than 100,000 polling locations in Black/Latino neighborhoods

@simon I don't know of a style guide, but what I do in cases like this is to select the particular words in the text that make up the link so they label the content sensibly.
In this case, the linked code does "back up the data", and it also "backs up the data as JSON" so either would be reasonable.
A secondary criterion I use is the length of the link. Some lengths are too short (I would never make the word "I" be a link), and long sections of link text distract from readability.
