But of course, you don't mind that Obama did this:

Not even close to the same thing, but nice try.

Also, Trump was not asking Russia to find Hillary's emails. He said it could have been "anybody", anyone from Russia to somebody in his bed.

First off, the fact that he's talking about Russia on a video published in July of 2016 completely obliterates your original argument that Russia was a boogeyman cooked up only after the election, which was exactly my point.

Secondly, in addition to what he said in that video, he tweeted this:
"If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!"

Which is pretty hard to misconstrue.

Because you are insinuating that minorities are incapable of obtaining IDs to begin with, even though virtually everything you do requires an ID.

I take it you don't actually know all that much about voter ID laws.

When lawmakers create Voter ID laws, they get to choose what constitutes a valid piece of ID. When it's Republicans doing the picking, they typically pick things like gun permits (as gun owners are more likely to be Republican voters) or even something like a driver's license. That might not seem controversial, but the simple fact of the matter is that minorities - especially those in urban areas who vote strongly Democratic - are much less likely to own a driver's license than rural, white voters.

Scream racism all you like, but your efforts would better be directed at the party trying to disenfranchise minorities and other groups that don't vote for them. That would be why, for instance, an appeals court struck down North Carolina's Voter ID law due to the way it - court's own wording here - "targets African Americans with almost surgical precision".
