Even as Democrats such as Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse warn of “right-wing dark-money network seeking to undermine the future of democratic elections in the United States,” progressives have far outstripped Republicans in harnessing the power of putatively non-partisan, nonprofit organizations that push the boundaries to win elections.

Although there are no readily available estimates of comparable conservative efforts, observers say they are overmatched. “The liberal nonprofit sector is much bigger than the conservative...
