Can a US state do a statewide election where you vote for a party and it’s proportionally distributed so you can avoid gerrymandering?

5 seats available: 50.01% R, 49.99%D => 3R, 2D

No. A representative represents their own district and nobody else, so they can’t pull in votes from elsewhere either.
