Du tolkar texten som att det handlade om att stoppa Trump. Jag tolkar texten som ett arbete för att se till att så många som möjligt kunde rösta samt stoppa "voter suppression" och Trumps spridning av konspirationsteorier och felaktiga fakta
The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted. For more than a year, a loosely organized coalition of operatives scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined President. Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors. The scenario the shadow campaigners were desperate to stop was not a Trump victory. It was an election so calamitous that no result could be discerned at all, a failure of the central act of democratic self-governance that has been a hallmark of America since its founding.

For Trump and his allies were running their own campaign to spoil the election. The President spent months insisting that mail ballots were a Democratic plot and the election would be “rigged.” His henchmen at the state level sought to block their use, while his lawyers brought dozens of spurious suits to make it more difficult to vote–an intensification of the GOP’s legacy of suppressive tactics.

Ok, jo men i slutänden måste det väl ändå ha handlat om att se till att Biden vann?!
Jag ser väl det som så att demokraterna hade först sina primärval, där Biden i slutänden vann över kandidater som Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren och Michael Bloomberg. Biden utropades som demokraternas kandidat i mitten av sommaren.
Jag startade en tråd om demokraternas primärval.
(FB) Demokraternas primärval 2020, februari till juni.
I samband med det, runt den 4:e juli så meddelade musikartisten och kläddesignern Kayne West att han ställde upp som presidentkandidat. West ska dock ha missat att registrera sig i tid i ett antal delstater, varpå hans möjligheter att få ihop tillräckligt med elektorer ska ha försvunnit.

Nu skuggade jag igenom Times artikel igen och de skriver precis som du säger att det gick ut på att stoppa Trumps desinformation, och att efter Biden utropats till segrare den 7:e november, se till att inte Trump kunde omvända valresultatet.
De ska tydligen kallat operationen för ” Voter Protection Program,” där man ska ha samlat in hundratals miljoner dollar, fått delstater att ändra vallagar etc. Jag måste äta nu, och sen sticka ut, men ska försöka ta översätta detta stycke senare.

Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program.
