The part I thought was most interesting was the bit that some of their voter mobilization efforts were deliberately under the radar, as not to alert Republicans that there was an election going on. One detail that might be amusing to long time SSPers is that they chose not putting up yard signs in certain neighborhoods, thinking the "oh there's an election" effect of the sign would be a net negative.
You can play the NY Times crossword online every day at https://www.seattletimes.com/games-nytimes-crossword/. I find a lot of them annoying, though, because freakin Shortz just has to require multiple letters per square, which I consider cheating.

Just a tip. All the libraries I use have online access to NYT. Once you've signed up you get 3 days free, then can renew which takes about 30 seconds.
The crossword is a separate free subscription that's only good for one day, as is cooking.
Yes, it’s time for me to act on your tip. Thanks for the reminder!
