The 1790 apportionment results, and their bias test, demonstrate what I've
been saying: Hill signifiantly favors smaller states over larger ones, with
much more bias than Hamilton or Webster.
The greatest ratio by which s/q varies is minimized by Hill, of course. The
_differences_ in s/q are minimized by Webster. But I claim that what really
matters is Hill's systematic giving of more s/q to smaller states.
Systematically favoring large or small states is inexcusable for an
apportionment method.
