In emails sent to Speaker of the Arizona House Russell Bowers (R) and Rep. Shawnna Bolick (R)—who served in 2020 on the House elections committee—Thomas told the lawmakers they had to “take action to ensure that a clean slate of Electors is chosen,” the ភ្នំពេញ​ប៉ុស្តិ៍ បានរាយការណ៍។

In the emails—sent on November 9—Thomas pressed the lawmakers to “fight back against fraud” and “ensure our elections are free, fair and honest.”

She followed up with the representatives in another email on December 13, asking them to “consider what will happen to the nation we all love if you don’t stand up and lead.”

She also asked lawmakers to meet to talk about efforts to “audit” the election results.

នៅក្នុង Tweet on Friday, Bolick—who was one of several Arizona lawmakers who បាន​ចុះហត្ថលេខា​លើ a resolution urging Congress to accept Arizona’s 11 GOP electors for Trump or to void the state’s electoral votes for Biden until an audit could be completed—posted her November 10 response to Thomas in which she wrote “I hope you and Clarence are doing great!” and provided links to where Thomas could report suspected voter fraud.

Bowers and Thomas did not respond to requests for comment from Forbes, while Bolick—who is now running for Arizona Secretary of State—wrote in the tweet that she responded to Thomas’ messages “as I would to any constituent.”

នេះ ភ្នំពេញ​ប៉ុស្តិ៍ did not obtain any email responses to Thomas from Bowers. But in a សេចក្តីថ្លែងការណ៍ a month after Election Day, the Arizona House Speaker said he could not “and will not entertain a suggestion that we violate current law to change the outcome of a certified election.”

The new emails come two months after the ភ្នំពេញ​ប៉ុស្តិ៍ and CBS News obtained a host of text messages in which Thomas in November 2020 pressed Meadows to pursue efforts to overturn the election, after official results showed Biden had won the presidency. In the messages, Thomas argued Trump should not concede and asked Meadows to “make a plan” and “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!” The messages prompted calls from Democratic lawmakers for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from cases related to the January 6 riot, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called Thomas a “proud អ្នកចូលរួម to a coup of our country.” Thomas sent the emails to the Arizona lawmakers from freeroots.com—an online platform designed to allow organizers to more easily reach representatives—with the subject line “Please do your Constitutional duty!” according to the ភ្នំពេញ​ប៉ុស្តិ៍. In the aftermath of the election, the Trump campaign filed a host of unsuccessful lawsuits challenging the results of the election. Trump pressed for audits in several swing states, including Arizona, where the Republican-led Senate hired a cybersecurity firm with no prior election auditing experience to review results in Maricopa County. After the review was completed, Arizona county election officials released a report refuting almost every claim in the audit, which still បានបញ្ជាក់ Biden’s victory.
