John, when it comes to why the NDRC’s electoral work is so critical to protecting our democracy, A.G. Holder summed it up best:

Over the past several years it’s become increasingly clear we can’t rely on the Supreme Court to protect our democracy. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act and made a series of contradictory rulings on gerrymandering that seem to favor GOP map manipulators.
But the good news is our strategy has always been about way more than the Supreme Court. State courts will decide a number of important cases related to gerrymandering and voting rights in the future, which is why the GOP is desperately seeking to install justices who they think will rubber stamp their manipulated maps. We have a plan to fight back, but we need your help to do it.
That plan includes targeting important races that will affect the future of our democracy across 17 different states this November, including state supreme court elections, state legislative elections, and governor’s races. But all our work takes a significant amount of resources, which is why we’re reaching out right now.
Our July mid-month deadline is at midnight tonight, and we’re still just a few donations short of our goal. Can you pitch in right now to put us over the top and help us keep up our work to protect our democracy?
