Mitch McConnell names USPS chairman, a veteran vote suppression expert, as director of his $130 million super PAC

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.
Chairman Duncan bypassed a long list of candidates recommended to become Postmaster General, and instead helped to install Louis DeJoy, the first postmaster general who had no experience at the USPS, into the role.
Former Hillary Clinton foreign policy spokesman Jesse Lerich noted the filing of the new paperwork listing Duncan's new role:
Duncan, a highly-connected GOP operative, once chaired the Republican National Committee "during the party's unprecedented escalation of voter disenfranchisement efforts in swing states," HuffPost reports, noting he steered the GOP "while it undertook some of its most brazen voter suppression schemes."
