If my understanding of it is correct, EO 13848 is what would allow the Insurrection Act to be invoked.

Isn’t the Insurrection act AKA the Riot act?

From my research, the Insurrection Act covers many areas. Trump's EO 13848 is about international interference in our election process. Unless the Dominion hardware and software can be proven to interfere, it's a no go.

In short, if the foreign interference in the election results in a deprivation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to any U.S. citizen, (i.e., vote dilution due to illegal ballots counted, or fraudulent vote tabulations), then it can trigger the Insurrection Act:, even if there is no armed invasion.

10 U.S. Code § 253 - Interference with State and Federal law
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
(1)so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2)opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.

Do note, that the refusal of courts to address the issues based on standing, laches, mootness, etc. does not deprive POTUS of the power to act, nor the duty.
