If voters are permitted to choose the legislative districts they are in, then there is no need for courts to grapple with the thorny problem of how states handle the role of race in districting.
There’s no need to reinvent or simulate open-list proportional representation. It already has a track record of success - has the bugs worked out - and accomplishes what is proposed here.
Interesting idea, but this seems pretty complicated and hard to implement in a fair way. In theory, why not just have proportional representation at the state level for House races? For states with 3-10 House seats especially, having the entire state serve as one multi-member district might work nicely. For larger states, multiple multi-member districts could work.
