President Donald Trump’s selection for a key Postal Service position, Robert M. Duncan, once had a very different job: steering the Republican Party while it undertook some of its most brazen voter suppression schemes.

Accountable.Us, a progressive-leaning government watchdog group, on Monday called on Duncan to resign, given his history of leading the Republican National Committee while it oversaw a large effort to disenfranchise voters.

“Your history raises significant concerns about your commitment to ensuring free, fair and accessible voting,” the group said in a letter. “You have demonstrated that you do not have the requisite commitment to preserving our democracy and have no place serving on the USPS Board of Governors, let alone as its chairman, at this critical time.”

Accountable.us said that Duncan was a member of the Kentucky Republicans’ executive committee at a time when county Republicans dispatched poll watchers to predominantly minority neighborhoods.
