Do you have a source for this? I am curious if this is true.

It's not. They didn't artificially delay the result because of the election. They just said that the data would come in after the election.
Quick Google seems to indicate it's true.

>Pfizer said it will wait until after the US election to file its COVID-19 vaccine with the US regulator, as it awaits important safety data to become available.

Yes, but if you read the source [0], they will wait until after the US election, but not for reasons related to the US election. Just because they expect their results to arrive after the US elections.

It's like saying that I will wait to have a baby until after the holiday period. Factually correct, but that baby will arrive in January irregardless of the holiday period. The holiday period is for sure not the reason for the baby to arrive in January.
