Ginni Thomas lobbied Wisconsin lawmakers to overturn 2020 election

Thomas emailed a Wisconsin state senator and a state representative, both Republican, on 9 November, two days after the election was called for Biden.

The messages used the same text as those sent to Arizona officials and were also sent using a form-emailing platform.

Ginni Thomas did not comment to the Post. Nor did a supreme court spokesperson.

Ginni Thomas is now known to have been in touch with Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, and John Eastman, a law professor who claimed the vice-president, Mike Pence, could stop certification on January 6, about attempts to overturn the election.

The House January 6 committee asked Thomas to voluntarily sit for an interview and provide documentation. Her lawyer, the Post said, told the committee she was willing but he did not think she had to.

No subpoena has been issued.

Cheney is a stringent conservative but last month she lost her Republican primary in Wyoming, over her opposition to Trump.

She has become popular with some on the left but others have grown frustrated, particularly over the lack of an attempt to compel Ginni Thomas to testify.

One of the Wisconsin lawmakers who Thomas contacted, the state senator Kathy Bernier, spoke to the Washington Post.
