That wouldn’t work. While you’d have legit Democrats in the GOP districts, the “Republicans” you’d have in Dem districts, especially no-mans’ land areas, would be leftist Demonrat puppets. That was already a problem by the 1970s. In fact, you’d likely not even have fake Republicans in those seats, but 3rd party leftists (which is what happened in Washington, DC, which guaranteed Republicans minority representation — both of those two seats are now held by ultraleftist “Independents”).

Some of what you cite did go go but it was dealt with. But this is not Ohio politics. Explain to me if that didn’t work how we had beside governors Chicago city Republican Aldermen,Cook county Sheriffs, states attorneys and county board president along with Chicago area state senators as well as President Reagan got elected.
How about sticking to stuff going on in Lucas and Hamilton counties in Ohio instead if shooting your mouth about an area you claim you know but don’t.
I’m not really concerned that “stooge” Republicans would get elected, that wouldn’t happen unless democrats vote in our primary. This is one front where we are better equipped then the past because it’s easier to get info now, the fakes can be called out.
But the rest of your points, Some (Black) districts even with Republicans voting all 3 votes for 1 Republican still wouldn’t elect a Republican and might elect a Green instead of 3 democrats, yes. Plus nothing would stop idiot extra Republicans from running which would prevent us from having the necessary ONE GOP candidate per rat district.
Meanwhile EVERY GOP district would elect at least 1 rat. That math will never work for us.
I’d love a system that could elect Republicans from Chicago and not eff us over even worse than we are now. It would be tricky to invent one that would actually work today. The districts would need to have more than 3 members and it would have to be some kind of proportional representation rather than the old plurality voting. Too European and fruity? Maybe. The DC system wouldn’t work because as you said as soon as libs realized they could run “independents” that fell apart.
But I understand your point in bringing it up Moses and it’s a good one.
