Sean Morales-Doyle and Gabriella Sanchez analyze the possible charge under 18 USC 241:

Examining the historical and contemporary usage of Section 241 makes clear why it’s relevant to Trump’s case. He is accused of orchestrating an attempt to overturn the outcome of a presidential election, threatening the rights of millions of voters. He helped provoke an unprecedented assault on our democracy and undermined public trust in elections in ways that continue to endanger election officials and fuel restrictive voting legislation. 

And a little-discussed aspect of this alleged conspiracy is how it targeted ballots cast by voters of color. Many of the Trump campaign’s legal challenges and voter fraud allegations in the aftermath of the 2020 election centered on invalidating votes in cities and counties with large Black and Latino populations, such as Detroit, Philadelphia, and Georgia’s Fulton County. While a Section 241 claim can be raised with any deprivation of a federal right, this apparent bid to disenfranchise communities of color calls to mind the reasons the law was passed to begin with.
