We heard a lot of critiques from conservatives about the horrors of splitting Mobile after the Alabama redistricting case.

Would y'all support using multi-member districts like so? This district would elect the top-two vote getters (after a partisan primary; a jungle primary could risk running afoul of minority disenfranchisement).

The idea is that you'd do a regular party primary and then elect the top two vote getters in the general election, which barring some wild 3rd party or independent overperformance would almost always be a Republican and a Democrat. You get the same result as one VRA and one non-VRA district but with a district which is more cohesive and compact.
