There's a pretty simple modification to LR/Hamilton that would eliminate 
the Alabama Paradox.  Give seats one at a time (except at the beginning, 
when each state is assigned one seat), such that the nth seat goes to 
the state for which the quantity
(state's proportion of population) * n - (state's seats so far)
is the greatest.
