"The federal government backed off. Nothing will be done about illegals voting."

Patriots need to get Pres. Trump up to speed with the fact that he has the Constitution on his side regarding not only dealing with undocumented Democrats voting, but also in dealing with major constitutional problems with how electoral votes are counted.

More specifically Trump needs to work with the states to enforce the Constitution’s 12th Amendment which will put a stop imo to unconstitutional state winner-take-all electoral votes.

"Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; …"

Trump also needs to work with the states to enforce Section 2 of the 14th Amendment. Section 2 establishes a punitive remedy for states that abridge the voting power of citizens.

Note that subsequent voting-related amendments to the Constitution have effectively change how voting criteria specified in Section 2 is to be interpreted imo.

Also regarding Section 2, Trump needs to work with the states to make sure that qualified citizen voters present valid citizenship / photo ID cards before being allowed to vote. Such cards need to be scannable to facilitate Democratic ballot box officials with “poor” eyesight.
