I've sent them photographs of a local church with "Vote Trump" on the placard out front. Nothing happened.

Did you do it anonymously or did you have your name on it? According to their form

All referrals are sent to analysts at the EO Classifications Office in Dallas. After a referral is made, the IRS will send an acknowledgement letter to all non-IRS sources making a referral, unless it was made anonymously.

They should be required to process it, but only if it's not anonymous. I'm guessing anything anonymous is thrown in the bin unless it's super serious.

~~are there any examples of someone successfully getting a church's exempt status taken away?~~

evidently there are a few examples, but probably only in really easy to pin on the church type situations. You probably need a printed doc from the church or a video of the pastor specifically mentioning a party or a candidate.

I'm sure it's a pretty hard process, but it seems like you should at least get a response on the status of the submission and that the church would be informed too. Getting the message that it's being investigated may at least be enough to spook many of them to stop.
