The apportionment methods rely on a priority value k, with a state always being guaranteed at least one rep.
The current system of sqrt((n-1)*n)*k required for n reps is already biased in favor of small states. 1.42k gives a state 2 reps, while 53.49k gives a state only 53 reps. That's not fair.
The Jefferson method of n*k require for n reps was much less favorable to small states.
The Webster method was (n-1/2)*k for n reps
The Hamilton method worked slightly differently.
