It works until you can't replace legislators because of gerrymandering or other legal barriers.
For example, if you look at registered voters in Louisiana 38.9% are democrats, 33.7% are republicans, and 27.3% are independent (and only ~64% of the independent are white). [1]
Yet it's a solid red state where democrats only really have a chance at electing governors.
And then you have situations like making it illegal for the people you don't want to vote.
10.6% of voting age Mississippians can't legally vote. 16% of Black voting age Mississippians [2]
