As Matt Ford notes, there's a common thread between Trump's attempt to invalidate the votes of large Democratic-leaning cities with large minority populations, and his attempt to have his DC trial moved to a new venue. The thread:
"Only Americans with certain 'characteristics,' to borrow a word from Trump’s lawyer, can be trusted to exercise basic civic duties."

"Others cannot be trusted to serve on a jury, to vote or count ballots in a presidential election, or to oversee a criminal case involving Trump himself. …
Had Trump recognized in 2020 that all Americans are equally capable of carrying out their civic duties, he would not be on trial in 2023 for allegedly conspiring to deny them their constitutional rights."
