There’s no requirement for House districts in the Constitution. When the country was founded, I believe most states had at-large House members. If your state had 10 House seats, then it would have one statewide election and the top 10 candidates in terms of vote totals would go to Washington.

The downside to at-large seat, says that in Nevada’s example, all of the representatives would be picked by the world, Las Vegas, or Reno, other states would have the same challenge that metropolitan areas would choose all of the at large representatives
