It bugs me that there is such a simple solution: just count total votes

This is for members of Congress. Simply counting total votes would mean 100% of the delegation to the house are from whatever party gets 50%+1 votes.

Yes, the majority of votes would elect the district’s chosen candidate. That’s correct.

The whole point though is that everybody is supposed to get equal representation.
