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

There’s a lot of long responses but TLDR, there’s a lot of red tape around elected representatives (outside of the electoral college) being essentially required to represent a specific geographical area

Even senate seats that are assigned as a flat 2 per state have to have districts, despite your idea making the most sense for them
