John,
We continue to learn more and more about the role Justice Clarence
Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas, played in efforts to overturn the 2020
election.
She sent multiple texts to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows,
contacted 29 Arizona state lawmakers, and pressured the chair of the
Senate elections committee to “choose” new presidential electors that
would vote for Trump.
Just as alarming is that Ginni Thomas used the “independent state
legislature theory” as the basis for her argument, the same argument at
the core of Moore v. Harper, the case soon to be heard by the Supreme
Court.
Ginni Thomas’s central role in the Big Lie compromises Justice Thomas’
impartiality.
It’s time to turn up the heat on the Supreme Court and demand Justice
Clarence Thomas recuses from ruling on Moore v. Harper and any other cases
regarding elections, voting rights, and Donald Trump.

In North Carolina last year, the Republican-controlled state legislature
rammed through a highly partisan gerrymandered map to gain a supermajority
control over 14 congressional seats.
In fact, their extreme maps were so outrageous, that even if the statewide
popular vote was split right down the middle, Democrats would only walk
away with victories in just 4 of the 14 seats available.
After legal challenges, the North Carolina Supreme Court thankfully struck
it down, describing it as an “egregious and intentional partisan
gerrymander . . . designed to enhance Republican performance, and thereby
give a greater voice to those voters than to any others.”
Now, with the North Carolina Supreme Court ruling being challenged in the
Supreme Court of the United States by extremist Republican legislators in
hope of reinstating their map, DFA is working with Robert Reich at
Inequality Media to demand that Justice Thomas recuse himself from the
case to ensure his conflicts of interest doesn’t get in the way.

Thomas follow the Judicial Code of Ethics and recuse himself from Moore v.
Harper.
Thank you for taking action today,
