I don't see anything in the Constitution which requires Congressional Districts to be geographically defined areas with a single winner-take-all representative. Could we explore different ways of electing Congressional Representatives on a state-by-state basis without a constitutional amendment? Without a change to Federal law?

What would it take for a single state to switch to a system of electing representatives like this (as an example): 1.) State registers political parties. 2.) Political parties host primaries 3.) Political parties produce ordered lists of candidates based on primary results 4.) People vote for party lists in general election 5.) State seats are apportioned to parties based on proportional general election vote totals
