By preference - number every box.

The candidiate with the fewest number of 1's is eliminated and their number 2 preferences are distributed.

Repeat process until one candidate has 50%+1 of the votes.

The House has never been proportional to the number of votes that the parties receive. There are no third parties represented at all in the House.
Also, apart from the at-large seats, the seats in the House are also gerrymandered to the point that there are almost no proper contests.
