Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has just named Robert Duncan, the chairman of the U.S. Postal Service's Board of Governors, to be a Director of his $130M super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund.

dumpie is stacking the cards in his favor. All the more reason not to mail your mail-in ballots,
hand deliver or vote in person.
