Recent reports suggest Donald Trump is likely to be charged under 18 USC § 241. There’s recent precedent for such a charge—as recent as spring 2023, writes Quinta Jurecic: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-last-time-the-justice-department-prosecuted-election-interference-under-section-241

May 2024 is a very reasonable, perhaps a bit fast, trial date for Trump’s case. Don’t let people who don’t know what they are talking about tell you otherwise.
