Ginni Thomas, the right-wing activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, lobbied far more Arizona state lawmakers than previously known to try to overturn the state’s 2020 election results — a revelation that reignited calls on Friday for Justice Thomas to recuse himself from cases related to the election. In addition to emailing two state representatives in November and December 2020, calling on them to “choose” electors who would grant former President Donald Trump a victory in the state, Thomas used a platform called FreeRoots.com to call on 27 other state lawmakers to put aside President Joe Biden’s victory. The Washington Post, which first reported the news, obtained the emails Thomas sent via Arizona’s public records law. Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, emailed *29* Republican legislators in Arizona urging them to overturn Biden's victory by appointing fake electors. And yet Clarence Thomas has not recused himself.
