Imagine if instead of the 50 states electing Senators we had one national vote in which everyone gets to vote for 100 Senators: that’s what at-large elections are. The presidency is a single-member office, so whether he is elected by an electoral college (as I support on federalism grounds) or by a national election it would not be similar to the at-large election of a multi-member counsel.

Sorry, I don't think that argument is going anywhere. Each state has two senators, so should we have racial districts that vote only for their senator?

What is abhorent about this decision is the conclusion that white officials can only represent white people and Hispanic officials are needed to represent Hispanics. This is offensive and un-American. The judge should be ashamed.
