3. And by "Federal Law" they of course mean "decree by executive fiat"

I'm pretty dang certain that the LAW (and/or SCOTUS decisions) says the only role of the Federal Government in administering elections is that they may act to make sure groups of people are not disenfranchised based on things like sex, race, politics, etc. And even then, they need evidence to pursue such (evidence which has never included the Feds requisitioning the information of every voter in the state). Trump has DICK in that regard apart from lies and bullshit conspiracy theories.

EVERY state need to tell this asshat to GET BENT wrt these demands

Let me also add that if the Right had even an ounce of intellectual integrity, they'd be calling bullshit on this as well. They've been whining forever about Federal Laws that prohibit states from disenfranchisement based on race, saying it's not the Feds purview. Time for them step up and show that they actually believe their own talk. Even if they won't do it on pure principle, they should consider that a Democratic POTUS would logically have the same power.
