1) multiple member constituencies for minority districts might actually solve a lot of problems
2) there is an section in the 14th amendment which allows states’ electoral votes and their Congressional representation to be zeroed out if they don’t play nice (basically the same as territories)

Regardless, the conservative SCOTUS would never enforce this anyways.
