by choosing Trump electors instead
Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court JusticeClarence Thomas, pressed two Arizona state lawmakers after the 2020 presidential election to upend Joe Biden's popular vote win in that state by ensuring "a clean slate of electors" was chosen, according to emails released Friday.

The emails -- which started with what appear to be pre-generated form letters from conservative activist Ginni Thomas to Arizona state representatives Russell Bowers and Shawnna Bolick -- show that she encouraged both lawmakers to "fight back against fraud" and exercise what she characterized as their constitutional authority to unilaterally choose the electors rather than accepting those based on popular vote results.

"This responsibility is yours and yours alone," an email from Ginni Thomas to Bowers on November 9, 2020, reads.Bolick received a nearly identical email from Ginni Thomas the same day, suggesting she used a form letter template.  

Bolick responded to her on November 10, 2020, encouraging her to file a formal complaint if she experienced voter fraud or election interference in Arizona. On November 12, Bolick wrote to Ginni Thomas again, saying the form letter she had signed and sent via email was received three times.
