There's absolutely no constitutional problem.

I would say Jeffrey O'Neill makes a good case that at-large districts
are unconstitutional in the article he recently sent across this list
(esp. see 25-30):

Being a novice with election law, it would be great to hear other
views at this level of detail. -Joe
