How many votes would you get? In Idaho and Arizona, which do have MMD districts, you get two votes cause you are electing two candidates. In this instance that would just mean two White guys.
And the alternative can still be a bad outcome. These are Forsyth and Cumberland County NC Commissioner maps. Both initially At-large, both forced to provide access for minorities. Both Reliably Blue. Both of their AA districts elect 2, the outer seats elect 4 in Forsyth and 3 in Cumberland. There are also a handful of at-large seats that do reflect the overall lean, which are the only reason neither have been sued for such maps. In Cumberland the outer district is Biden +1.6 and 50% white, in Forsyth is Trump+0.8 and 70.7% White. In this way minority voters are packed into only having influence over a minuity of seats, and only the Cumberland gerrymander has started to see Dems get elected to the outer district through crossover support.
